v6 cologne exhaust CAD
Talon Motorsport - 27/6/13 at 02:24 PM

I know it's a bit of a long shot but has any body got a CAD drawing of the exhaust flanges for a 2.8 - 2.9 ford V6 Cologne engine?

might be worth asking over on pistonheads in the TVR 'S' forum as they used both the 2.8 and 2.9 colognes. I *think* one or tother had more than one port shape (oval and round??) but may be getting mixed up with the Essex.

The 2.9 24v is a differing port shape than the 12v too I think, but the Tiv guys wil know as its a popular swap into an S series

Ah thanks will have a try over there, don't really want to take a paper rubbing to the laser cutters I'll get laughed out of the office.

don't have either I'm afraid - but 2.8 & 2.9 Colognes are totally different engines. The 2.8 has siamesed exhaust ports (manifolds have 2 pipes each side) but the 2.9 has "proper ports (3 each side). AFAIK, the only interchangeable parts are the rocker box covers - the cam even rotates in the opposite direction (chain versus wheels)!

Buy an exhaust gasket from ford and take measurements.
Done that a few times

not sure about 2.8, but my 2.9 in my Tiv is 3 separate gaskets per side so you don't get the relationship between each

I do think they are seperate, the 2.9 cosworth is. I welded the flanges using the head to hold them in place.
Alternative is use an exhaust manifold.

2.3, 2.6, 2.8 Cologne, 2.4, 2.9 US Cologne (12 & 24v) are all individual gaskets - as are the V4 & V6 Essex. The 24v Cosworth 2.9i is the one with "square" ports.

Sounds like some work is required to know what you want.

Bit you have the dims (hole diameters, distance between centers, etc) its a 30 second job to turn that into an engineering drawing (pen an ruler works) or to model it on cad and produce a dxf pattern for the laser guys.
