The Toyota F is a 3.9 L (3878 cc, 236.6 cu·in) straight-six, natural aspirated four-stroke liquid-cooled internal combustion vertical gasoline engine, manufactured by Toyota from 1949 to 1975.
A 90.0 mm (3.54 in) cylinder bore and 101.6 mm (4 in) piston stroke give the F engine a total of 3878 cc of displacement. The compression ratio rating is 6.4:1 until 1954, 6.8:1, 7.5:1 or 7.8:1 for later vesion.
This engine produced from 102.0 PS (75 kW; 100.0 HP) to 126.5 PS (93 kW; 125.0 HP) of horsepower and from 261 N·m (26.6 kg·m, 192.4 ft·lb) at 2,000 rpm to 289 N·m (29.5 kg·m, 213.0 ft·lb) at 2,000 rpm of torque.
The Toyota F features:
- Cast-iron cylinder block and head
- OHV design
- Ignition coil and contact breaker ignition system
- Down draft, single barrel carburetor (early), down draft, two-barrel (later)
- Forced lubrication lubrication system
- Liquid cooling system
- Electric starter
