Engine Abreviations & Applications

[Darren]

Few of us talking shit last night over a bum burner and it turns out that a few of my mates didn't know (or just couldn't remember ) what BDA and BDG stood for

Obviously relentless piss take was immediate aimed mainly at the 50 year old who has a grp4 escort and the young lad who's an apprentice at a group B rally prep place

Eventually though, the convo developed into what other engines were in Fords; BDT, BDJ, YB, YBP, siamese crossflow etc etc. So...what engine abbreviations and applications do you know
