Hi Jeff.
As the others have said, The Cologne is a Ford V6 of German origin (hence the name) Available in either 2.3, 2.8 or a few late 2.9. The 2.3 was a carbed version used in Mk4/5 Cortina's and Mk2 Granada's. The 2.8 was either carbed in the Mk2 Grannies or injected in the Grannies, Capri's and Sierra XR4i and 4X4. Both the 2.3 and the 2.8 only had 2 siamesed exhaust ports per side so struggled to breath and make decent power. The later 2.9 as used in the Sierra and Granny had 6 exhaust ports, and more power. This was also the basis for the V6 OHC Cossie
