The Ford Sidevalve is a side valve (flathead engine) from the British arm of the Ford Motor Company, often also referred to as the "English Sidevalve".The engine had its origins in the 1930s Ford Model Y, and was made in two sizes, 933 cc (56.9 cu in) or "8 HP", and 1,172 cc (71.5 cu in) or "10 HP".
The first Y-block on Ford automobiles and F100 trucks was the 239 cu in (3,910 cc) version as released in 1954 with EBU casting numbers. The Y-block was the same displacement as the old Ford Flathead V8 that it replaced but with a bigger bore and a shorter stroke (3.5 x 3.1 in).
During the engine's first decade of production, when overhead-valve engines were used by only a small minority of makes, it was usually known simply as the Ford V‑8, and the first car model in which it was installed, the Model 18, was (and still is) often called simply the "Ford V-8" after its new engine.
torque-angle tightening (also known as torque-angle tension control) is a method of securing the bolted joint when the initial tension is critical for reliability and safety. The technique relies on simultaneous monitoring of both the torque applied during the tightening as well as the angle of rotation, usually using a torque/angle wrench.
While the torque peak of the standard engine increased by only 9 N⋅m (7 lbf⋅ft) to 357 N⋅m (263 lbf⋅ft), Ford claimed that mid-range torque was now as much as 28 N⋅m (21 lbf⋅ft) higher. [37] Power increased to 157 kW (211 hp) for the standard engine, and 164 kW (220 hp) for the high-output XR6 variant.
The Ford Boss 302 (formally the "302 H.O.") is a high-performance "small block" 302 cu in (4.9 L) V8 engine manufactured by Ford Motor Company.The original version of this engine was used in the 1969 and 1970 Boss 302 Mustangs and Cougar Eliminators and was constructed by attaching heads designed for the planned 351 Cleveland (which debuted the following year) to a Ford small block.

Note: this is commonly called the Ford Small-block V8 pattern, though it is used in some "big block"-sized V8's as well as some V6's and I6's. 200 I6 1978-1983 only, partial (4 of 6 bolts) pattern. 250 I6 (except Australian 250/4.1) 255 V8; 289 V8 - (made after August 3, 1964) - had 6 bolts holding bellhousing to block; 302 Cleveland (Australia)
A 289 Ford small-block V8 in a 1965 Ford Mustang. The 289 cu in (4.7 L) V8 was introduced in April 1963, carrying the Challenger name over from the 260 [3] and replacing it as the base V8 for full-sized Fords. Bore was expanded to 4.00 in (101.6 mm), becoming the standard for most small block Ford engines. Stroke remained at 2.87 inches.
