What year did ford stop using the ohv engine?

Ford has never completely stopped using OHV (Overhead Valve) engines.

OHV engines are still widely used by Ford today, primarily in their larger, more powerful vehicles like the F-Series trucks, Mustang, and some SUVs.

While Ford has developed and implemented other engine technologies like:

* SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft): Found in some smaller engines like the Fiesta and Focus

* DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft): Used in performance engines like the EcoBoost V6 and the Mustang's V8

* VVT (Variable Valve Timing): A technology used to improve efficiency and performance across various engine types

Ford continues to utilize OHV engines for their proven reliability, durability, and relatively simple design, especially in heavy-duty applications.
