 Ford Cortina at AllExperts
While the first two generations were similar to the British models, Ford Australia began fitting the 200 and 250 in³ six-cylinder engines as available in the Ford Falcon to the TC onwards in addition to the four-cylinder engines.
The last of the TD, TE and TF models were fitted with the cross-flow head versions of these engines, referred to as 3.3 L and 4.1 L. To hold the larger engines, the chassis had reinforced side rails and center pillar, and a tubular crossmember support under the transmission.
However, Ford found enough customers to last to the end of the model's life in 1982, when it was replaced initially by the smaller Ford Meteor (a rebadged Mazda 323 sedan) and then the 1983 Ford Telstar sedan/hatchback range.

Ford introduced it to the public at the New York World's Fair on April 17, 1964 and via all three American television networks on April 19.

As far as the design itself was concerned, Ford stylists basically threw out the company handbook on design limitations, pushing the stamping technology of the time to its limit in such design areas as the sweep of the rear lower valence and the remarkably complicated front end stampings and castings.

The 6b's were notable amongst other things for their use of the 2.8 Ford Cologne engine instead of the 3.0 Essex.
Ford stopped producing the Essex in 1980 and Reliant had to use what was available.
Both engines produced roughly the same BHP, but the Essex had extra torque of 13ft lb at 3000rpm, leading some people suggest that the cologne wasn't on a par with the older unit.

The engine’s cylinder block design represents the first application of a high-pressure die-cast block for a V-configuration engine for Ford.
Ford chose this new casting technique because of it's various production advantages including tighter casting control which produces more consistent casts, and the reduction of raw material requirements which lowers overall product weight.

 1974 Ford Mustang
Regardless, Ford forged ahead and the Mustang II was introduced considerably weaker and hardly recognizable as a pony car, but a Mustang nonetheless.
Another engine was offered in 1974 that was a little more powerful, but not by much.
Of course, there are Mustang fans that think the Mustang II was a great design and other Mustang pony car enthusiasts who believe it was a waste of a Mustang and maybe not even a Mustang at all.

The engines also went on to be fitted in XR4 and less sporty models of sierra.
The 2.9 and 2.4 (of which relatively few 2.4 were made) are 'improved' V6 units, which, according to reports, are different engines, but there are many commonalities that lead me to believe the 2.9 is an evolution of the V6.
The most obvious mods to create the cologne is the introduction of a chain drive to the cam (these engines are ohv pushrod units) instead of gears, and better exhaust porting.
