The "real" XR4i's in europe came with the 2.8 V6, including the XR4x4.

And the 2,9 V6 later, a far better engine in that they upped the size of the cam bearings a bunch and went to chain drive, and re-iggered the valve arrangements so its ex/in/ex/in/ex/in tather than the old in/ex/ex/in then ex/in..The 2 exhaust valve next to eachother, a holdover from when the "grew up" from the V4 (the V4 came first) caused many a problem with localised overheating..

Such a shame Ford USA was always so stupid about keeping anything good off the floor at Ford mainline dealships that might make the flexy-flyer crap balance Mustangs look bad...Its funny that the things wrong with Xratties---for the market segment they were dreaming of----they never cured..
By '85 they had the large 7.5" diff with a good VC LSD in some V6 Scorpios---those go staight in Xrattie, they had rear disc brakes in all 4x4s, and by 86 the had very good inter-coolers in the Cossie 2wd...all the major faults had cured already on the shelf...but USA bean-counters figured they could sell the cars with no intercooler, no LSD and truck sized drum brakes..
And so they cut their own throats, and made an orphan car when they could have had a really good car....imagine 2.3 turbo diesel estate 4x4..

But I'm also juggling cleaning a stall in a barn in the next town over for putting the street XR4 away for salt season (and the Lemons car if there's enough space), replacing four blown struts in my Legacy, a completely fused LR wheel bearing/hub/axle assembly (last of the fresh parts scheduled to arrive today), making my quiver of used up ski equipment make it one more season, getting ahead on firewood, and all the other stuff that comes with kids and home ownership.

Which means I should get the hell off the computer.]]> fiasco Buy, Sell & Trade Sat, 15 Nov 2014 09:03:56 -0600 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,102687#msg-102687 Re: meh, my Xratty nuked a snail https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,102687#msg-102687 Clayto Buy, Sell & Trade Fri, 14 Nov 2014 21:44:31 -0600 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100703#msg-100703 Re: meh, my Xratty nuked a snail https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100703#msg-100703 fiasco Buy, Sell & Trade Wed, 10 Sep 2014 17:01:21 -0500 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100702#msg-100702 Re: meh, my Xratty nuked a snail https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100702#msg-100702 Drew Buy, Sell & Trade Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:39:16 -0500 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100689#msg-100689 Re: meh, my Xratty nuked a snail https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100689#msg-100689 fiasco Buy, Sell & Trade Tue, 09 Sep 2014 17:13:45 -0500 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100688#msg-100688 Re: meh, my Xratty nuked a snail https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100688#msg-100688 NoCoast Buy, Sell & Trade Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:49:04 -0500 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100629#msg-100629 Re: meh, my Xratty nuked a snail https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100629#msg-100629 fiasco Buy, Sell & Trade Sat, 06 Sep 2014 17:19:54 -0500 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100613#msg-100613 Re: meh, my Xratty nuked a snail https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,100385,100613#msg-100613
