Ford Motor Company Ltd manufactured 4 & 6 cylinder diesel engines to fit primarily into their Thames Lorries (like the one above left). The 4 cylinder diesel engines also fit into their Fordson tractors (above right). Some of these engines were also fitted into rock crushers, harvesters, and other equipment by various manufactures around the world. According to FoleyEngines TechTip#142, the Dagenham engines were built in Ford of Britain’s engine plant in Dagenham, a suburb east of London. and the Dorset (¿and later?) engines were produced just east of Dagenham at Ford’s plant in Essex (¿which later became the Basildon Case-New Holland (CNH) tractor plant?)
Ford themselves did not produce a marine version of their engines until the Dover Series, however many Ford of Britain engines and a number of Ford licensed Spanish (EBRO) and Turkish (Ford Otosan) versions of these engines were marinised by third party companies or by individuals, and installed in various vessels, especially Asian Trawlers. Most all of these engines were factory new, but there were also a few used engines that had been taken out of trucks, tractors, harvesters, etc. and marinised.

- Lehman Mfg Co ⇐ SEE “Fixes” that need to be accomplished to prevent engine damage
- American Marine Ltd (Mfr of Grand Banks)
- American Diesel Corp
In 1981, Bob Smith, who was the former managing director of Lehman Power, founded American Diesel Corp in Kilmarnock, VA to provide aftermarket marinizing replacement parts and support for Lehman marinized Ford Industrial Power (UK) Diesel engines. They also produced their own marinized replacement engine packages from the last of the Non-EPA Ford 6.22L (Ford Otosan) engines similar to the Ford-Lehman Super 135’s. They were first rated at 125 hp and then later at 140 hp.
The fuel injection pumps on later engines (1965+) were gear driven directly
without any exposed couplings or extension shafts (see below).
Lehman marinized FORD 2701E with directly driven fuel injection pump.
Also note that the remote oil filter (which had been inverted for shipping) is now righted.
But “Two Shaft” Raw Water Pump has yet to be replaced with “Single Shaft” Pump to avoid shaft failure.
See other Lehman “Fixes” that need to be accomplished to prevent engine damage at Lehman Mfg Co.

I'm looking a buying a used boat, and I have a dozen years experience with marine diesels evenly split between Yanmar and Perkins. Through others I know I know a few things about other makes and models, but I know precious little about the Ford Lehman diesel.
Every diesel has their good and bad points and quirks. Perkins are loud, leak and are reliable with cheap parts. Yanmar are tight and reliable but the parts are $$$.
What are the good, bad and ugly things that I need to know about Ford Lehman motors? What questions should I ask and what will my surveyor be looking for? The model I am finding most often is the 85HP 4 cylinder model 2722E.
Any wisdom and experience with these diesels would be appreciated.
