Ford Sierra XR6
Manufactured by: Ford Motor Company of South Africa, Port Elizabeth, Cape Province, Republic of South Africa.
Years produced: 1984 - 1992
Price at launch: unknown

As the Ford Cortina was replaced by the Ford Sierra, not only in Europe, but also in South Africa, the Cortina XR6 was in 1984 replaced by the Sierra XR6. This was available only as a four door hatchback, and was powered by the same 140 HP 3 litre (183 cu. in.) Essex engine as its Cortina predecessor. However, this engine was coupled to a five-speed gearbox.
In mid 1989 the South African Sierra was given a facelift. (That was two years after the European Sierra had one). This included a different front end and tail lights from the Sapphire. In 1991 the XR6 3.0iRS was produced. This car had fuel injection, a modified hydraulic cam shaft and high compression pistons.


So has this engine got a fuel injected 3litre Essex engine? Never seen a fuel injected essex before!

i am in johannesburg, and no she does not have fuel injection only the 3.0IRS had fuel injection, on mine i am running a 38 webber carb, but will be changing it to twin 40 sidedraughts with a special manifold to run them as a side draught running into the center intake.

the 2.0 cossie was only available to us on special import, and if i had to get a motor it would cost me about R6500.00 south african rands, ant that would be for a really messed up motor
