The 4.0 DOHC Inline 6 became known as the Barra 182 (the N/A), the new turbo variant named Barra 240T. DLPG became known as EGAS.
The 5.4 SOHC engine was known as the Barra 220, the 5.4 DOHC engines Boss 260 or Boss 290.
For BF, the refreshed power outputs were reflected in the names, Barra 190 (N/A), Barra 230 (SOHC V8), Barra 245T (turbo). (FPV engines stayed as before)
For the FG Falcon, Ford dropped the Barra nomenclature across all engines, but most still referred to the 4.0 as the Barra. If you want to be factually correct, the engines were actually codenamed Orion.
And yes, I do store all this pointless information in my head at the expense of remembering people's names and birthdays.

Fair enough, too. There's only so much capacity for the storage of information, and you have to get your priorities right
