1986F150Six Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Wow! Hmmm... put that in my truck and take on Paul [Rogue Wulff] next year in the gas mileage test!!! Where is the intake manifold? Direct injection of some type? I found the following: Hydrogen Engine Center Unveils 3-Cylinder, 2.4L Mini Oxx 01 April 2006 Hydrogen Engine Center (HEC) unveiled its new Mini Oxx three-cylinder 2.4L engine at the Aviation Industry Expo in Las Vegas, Nev.

HEC is targeting the 65hp (48.5kW) Mini Oxx for applications such as luggage tractors and other airport ground support equipment. The new three-cylinder engine features interchangeable parts with its six cylinder counterpart.

The Mini Oxx is a compact version of HEC's Oxx Power six cylinder 4.9L engine. "Before the conception of the Mini Oxx many aviation experts were consulted regarding the feasibility of a three cylinder engine for the industrial market," said Ted Hollinger, president of HEC. "We discovered a need for a smaller version of our 4.9L engine." The Mini Oxx will produce approximately 65 horsepower. Many applications exist for the Mini Oxx including luggage tractors and other airport ground support equipment. The new three cylinder engine will also feature interchangeable parts with its six cylinder counterpart. "We wanted the engines to share some of the same components to increase efficiency in production and maintenance," said Hollinger. "Seventy-two of the 81 parts used in the six cylinder, 4.9L engine are the same for the new three cylinder Mini Oxx and are interchangeable." The Mini Oxx is the newest addition to HEC product line that already includes five engines. Engines produced at HEC are sold under the Oxx Power brand. In addition to their gasoline engines, HEC developed a family of engines that use fuels such as hydrogen, natural gas, propane, and methane. The engines include the same essential technologies and can be converted to use hydrogen when it is available. "We were presented with a challenge and we exceeded expectations in the creation of the Mini Oxx," said Hollinger. "We are committed to the promise of hydrogen fuel; it burns cleaner and it reduces our dependence of foreign sources of fuel." HEC has targeted production of the Mini Oxx to begin in the first quarter of 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny G Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 $500, someone needs that to play with lol. Granted it probably doesn't run on gasoline, I think these guys are making prototypes for alternative fuels, maybe one day we can all convert our 300 I-6's to hydrogen fuel.

1986F150Six Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 2 cyl?! I wonder what that sounds like? Take a look at the intake manifold [of the 2 cylinder] and imagine cutting out the center of an original log manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Take a look at the intake manifold [of the 2 cylinder] and imagine cutting out the center of an original log manifold. I noticed the modified factory intake... and was surprised to see that the injectors were in the runners, not through the throttle body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice that gasoline is one of the specified fuels, so a carburetor could be mounted, just like on the 240/300/4.9L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought exactly David... I don’t know if the YFA would be too much at 1/3 displacement but it would at least fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
