Ford 4.0L 6 Cylinder SOHC and DOHC 698GT-A Series Long Engines
Although we have been building high performance engines since 1978, it wasn’t until 2004 that we began development work on the Ford 4.0L DOHC 6 cylinder factory turbocharged engine. We witnessed numerous catastrophic engine failures after consumers had undertaken simple modifications such as free flowing exhausts and cold air intake systems to otherwise stock vehicles, so it became apparent there was a need for us to engineer some hard core solutions to address the inherent factory weaknesses.

The engines possess an abundance of untapped power with their large factory fitted Garrett GT35/40 turbocharger; however as the engine internals are almost directly taken from the original inline 6 cylinder normally-aspirated engine of the 1960’s they were not designed to handle 21st century boost-assisted power levels.

We initially developed a lightweight yet durable billet conrod to work with the 99.31mm (almost 4”) stroke crank and before long our customers were making 450+ RWKW (700+ flywheel HP) with total reliability. Following this we pinpointed other engine weaknesses, such as the oiling system, torsional vibration problems, cylinder head lifting, airflow distribution problems at high boost etc and engineered a range of solutions to suit.

We have seen power levels in excess of 1000KW (1300HP) with our components, such is the scope for power from these big cube 6 cylinder power plants.

We have 2 power levels available; our 698GT-A Engines are designed to handle up to 698 (935HP) and for the seriously power crazed, our 998GT-A Engines (998/1330HP) are just the ticket!

MY2011 Atomic 698GT-A Long engine specs

• Ultrasonic tested block in 24 spots per block – thick walls are required (we reject 4 in 10 for being like Cleveland blocks - too thin in spots due to core shift)

A long engine comes complete from sump to rocker cover and all engines are run-in on our engine test cell to ensure everything is 100% spot-on before shipping.



Fitting one of our engines to a non–original application is no problem with our Retrofit Series. No need to use the original Ford computer, harness and gearbox, just hook up your choice of turbo or blower, add your favourite ECU and you will have the baddest 6 cylinder around!

And you also have the option of either an engine built to your requirements or we can rebuild your own... the choice is yours!

Atomic engines and components are engineered, dynoed, track tested and fully warranted to give you confidence you won’t be let down in the heat of competition.
