Description

Facing rear main crankshaft seepage? Select the VEGE VFA4 Long Block Engine to execute a dependable commercial long block repower on hard working Ford fleet trucks. This 5.0L 302 cid Small Block Ford V8 produces 215HP at 4,200 RPM. Technicians must check oil pan pickup tube clearance above the front chassis crossmember prior to motor mount attachment.

Solid ASTM A48 Class 30 gray iron forms the 4.000in bore engine case. A cast nodular iron crankshaft pairs with forged steel connecting rods inside this VEGE engine core. Starter draw measures 155A on 12V vehicle circuits. Dry weight measures 460 lbs with an unrigged stance of 27in length by 24in width by 26in height. Sump holds 5.0 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE VFA4

Auto repair facilities buy VEGE VFA4 Long Block Engine packages to avoid machine shop queues during an industrial engine rebuild project. New valve seats and bronze valve guides guarantee true valve seating across thousands of operating hours.

• Cast iron cylinder heads optimize intake air velocity for continuous hauling efficiency.
• Hydraulic roller lifters track smooth camshaft lobes to eliminate pushrod cup wear over time.
• Durable flat top hypereutectic pistons maintain tight piston to wall clearance under heat.
• The VFA4 commercial core maintains 0.0015in connecting rod bearing clearance for oil wedge stability.
• Deep main bearing webs provide bottom end structural rigidity against engine vibration.
• High output oil pumps supply constant lubrication volume to internal oil passages.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets clamp down to eliminate combustion bore leakage.

Dynamometer Bench Performance Output Metrics

Dyno validation charts indicate 215HP at 4,200 RPM alongside 285 ft-lbs torque at 3,000 RPM for this VFA4 long block engine. Pressure transducers indicate 50 PSI oil gallery pressure at 2,000 RPM with oil sump temperature held at 190°F. Compression testing demonstrates 175 PSI per cylinder with variance under 3%. Crankshaft dial indicators verify 0.0003in TIR total runout. Exhaust manifolds record steady 1,200°F temperatures during full load testing.

Field Installation Preventative Maintenance Directives

Manual throttle cable linkages require 4 lbs pull force to sweep from idle stop to wide open throttle. Installers must avoid this heavy duty replacement engine for vehicle chassis lacking matched powertrain computers or vehicles running blocked radiator cores.

• Discard break in oil after 500 miles or 30 hours then fill with 10W-30 motor oil.
• Inspect distributor gear mesh and oil pump driveshaft hex engagement before final drop in.
• Torque cylinder head fasteners in proper sequence up to 70 ft-lbs following initial thermal break in.
