Learning About The History Of The Ford Power Stroke Diesel - History Lesson
|
The Power Stroke engine first made its debut in model year '94. The heavily-revised 7.3L short block was now capped off with more efficient two-valve cylinder heads and direct electro-hydraulic injection. Dropping the compression to 17.5:1 and adding computer-controlled engine management was a major step forward in diesel engine technology. Power was now up to 215 hp and a staggering 425 lb-ft of torque. This was also the first time that many aftermarket companies embraced the Ford diesel and within a year, we saw tuners coaxing over 300 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. This was the engine that put Ford on the performance diesel map. View Related Article
