FORD LSG875 -- Now out-of-production, the trailer towing champion and largest Ford industrial engine was our virtually bullet-proof 7.5 L V8 460 cid engine. Applications ranged from irrigation, lift trucks, citrus grove frost protection, standby generators, marine, to environmental vapor extraction and co-generation. As can be seen in the photo here, we sold these by the truckload!
