The Barra engines are a family of straight 6s and V8s used by Ford Australia since 2002. The inline 6 is unique to the Australian market and developed and manufactured in Geelong, Victoria. It was first introduced as a "Barra" in the BA Falcon. The V8s are built in Australia, using a US sourced block. Production of the straight 6 is scheduled to continue until at least 2016.〔http://www.themotorreport.com.au/51759/falcon-and-territory-to-keep-local-six-for-five-more〕 == Straight-six engine== The current I6s are all DOHC engines with VCT. They are a development of the SOHC I6s produced between 1988 and 2002, which in turn are a development of the 3.3 and 4.1 L push-rod flat-tappet I6 straight 6, developed in Australia as an " Alloy Head" Crossflow in 1981, eventually in both carburetted and injected versions, which itself was developed from the original iron-head cross flow engine from 1976, and which in turn was developed, again in Australia, from the original noncross flow integral inlet manifold iron head family of 'light' Ford sixes which originated in North America in the late 1950s intended for the original American Ford Falcon compact of 1959, initially in a 144 cubic inch (2.4 L) displacement.
