Ford Barra engine

Barra is the name of an engine range by Ford Australia from 2002 to 2016, including the locally-developed and produced inline-six engines (I6), and Canadian-produced V8s.

The Barra inline-six was developed by Ford Australia and built in Geelong, Victoria. It was named after the "Barramundi" code name it used during development, and is a descendant of the original Falcon Six from 1960. It was utilised by the Australian manufactured Ford Falcon and Territory, first introduced in the Ford Falcon (BA) in 2002, continuing production until 26 September 2016, coinciding with the end of production of the Falcon and Territory on 7 October.

The Barra V8s are versions of the Ford Modular engine, built at the Essex Engine Plant in Windsor, Ontario. It was introduced in 2002 with the BA Falcon and were discontinued with the release of the Ford Falcon (FG) in 2008.
