fame for cologne v6 at last?
stephen_gusterson - 29/8/04 at 01:00 PM

I got this in my inbox



I'm a contributor to Wikipedia, the free & open encyclopedia project,
(http://en.wikipedia.org/) and I'm putting together an entry about the
Ford "Cologne" V6. The article really needs a picture, and in
searching around I found your photographs
(http://www.brtheoutsider.freeservers.com/locostbuilder/engine.htm).
Would you be willing to allow use of one of these to illustrate?

I have a 2.4.

I didnt write the text - he has assumed its a 2.9. Ive pointed it out to the author but as the 2.4 / 2.9 are externally identical (so im told) I dont think its a problem. Also told him that hes missed the 2.4 from his list.

I was interested that the cologne is still made - Im supposing its fitted to some yank tank in 4.0 form.....

thats cool, they're decent pictures so i can see why they were interested. I'd love it if anybody noticed my site once it's up and about! I just need to stop getting my finger in front of the lens.

the top view after spraying is best. Its got the heads and fuel rail painted in 'janet and john easy to understand' bright colours.
