The '''Ford Kent''' is an [[internal combustion engine]] from [[Ford of Europe]]. Originally developed in 1959 for the [[Ford Anglia]], it is an [[straight-4|in-line four-cylinder]] [[Overhead valve engine|overhead valve]] (OHV) [[pushrod]] engine with a cast-iron cylinder head and block.

The Kent family can be divided into three basic sub-families; the original '''pre-Crossflow''' Kent, the '''Crossflow''' (the most prolific of all versions of the Kent), and the transverse mounted '''Valencia'''.

The arrival of the [[Ford Duratec|Duratec-E]] engine in the fifth generation Fiesta range in 2002 signalled the end of the engine's use in production vehicles after a 44-year career, although the Valencia derivative remained in limited production in Brazil, as an industrial use engine by Ford's Power Products division, where it is known as the '''VSG-411''' and '''VSG-413'''. Since 2010, it has been actively produced in the United States factories for [[Formula Ford]] globally because of its popularity in motorsport.
