This new AE Ford part was bought in to do a rebuild on our Scimiter SE5 GTE,I never did the rebuild,so the pump is spare and can go to a good home for anyone re building the Ford Essex 3ltr V6 (what a good engine) its new and boxed in the original carton.The AE part number is POL 727 for Ford AE 122 opo2 45 A218,the fitting instructions and oil gasket are included.Boxed and labled AE auto parts,Bradford,England,so an original part,it is now offered for sale.
We can also supply modified unleaded cylinder heads and three branch exhaust manifolds to suit your needs.
The 3 litre Essex appears light on BHP at 138, especially compared to the engine that replaced it – the Cologne, which weighs in at 160bhp. But, the 3 litre’s biggest strength is bucket loads of low-down torque with tuning potential reaching almost 300bhp. At this level though, it gets a touch temperamental, so be warned! Before you really go mad, there’s two areas you need to pay attention to – first, the engine runs on 4-Star so unleaded seats need fitting,heads can be supplied converted, which is a good excuse to upgrade to a pair of performance heads too. The second consideration is the fibre cam timing gear, which can easily shred with more power piled in. We stock a steel replacement cam gear and again a good plan is a steel gear upgrade plus cam swap at the same time
