Boreham Motorworks has revealed its new TEN-K engine that offers a 10,000rpm red line and produces 330bhp.
Weighing just 85kg, the TEN-K using the company’s race experience to create a 2100cc road car engine specifically for its Ford-approved restomod Escort models.
A Formula 1-inspired 16-valve cylinder tops the naturally aspirated four-cylinder motor that has design cues from the Ford BDA engine.
Billet internals are used for strength and weight reduction for the crankshaft, rods, cradle, dry sump, and cam cover.
Further weight savings were found by using thin wall 3D printed casting technology, which enables a sculpted engine block, formed closely around the internal components.
The engine programme has been led by Simon Goodliff, CTO of DRVN Automotive Group, and Laine Martin, Head of Powertrain. Together, they bring over 30 years of leadership in Ford powertrain development.
Iain Muir, CEO of DRVN Automotive that is parent company of Boreham Motorworks, said: ‘The Boreham TEN-K is the result of relentless effort from our engine development team – a demonstration of what can be achieved when passion and precision come together. With the engine being currently installed in the car and mated to the bespoke, all-new, ultra-light weight fully floating rear axle I can’t wait to see it fired up for its first test run.’
Following significant dyno testing, the power and rev limits are both above initial targets, while throttle response has also been an area of focus for the team.
