Ford Vulcan engine
The Ford Vulcan V6 was a 3.0 L (2933cc), 60° V6 engine, first introduced for the 1986 model year and originally designed to be the optional engine in the Ford Taurus. It has since become the base engine in the Taurus, and has also been used in the Ford Probe, the Ford Aerostar and Ford Windstar minivans, and the Ford Ranger pickup truck; it also replaced the Cologne 2.9 engine (which it is not related to) as the base V6 in the Ranger. The Vulcan is built at Ford's Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio.
The Vulcan is a straightforward pushrod design, with 2 valves per cylinder. Bore is 88.9mm and stroke is 78.74mm. The engine was designed to used electronic fuel injection from the start (there was never a carburetor-equipped version), and is also sold in a "flexible fuel" configuration that can burn either normal gasoline or E85 (a blend of 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol).
It was updated in 1996 with lower-friction pistons, a strengthened block, and other changes for 145 hp and 170 ft.lbf. Output after a new intake manifold in 1998 was 155 hp (115 kW) and 185 ft.lbf (251 Nm).
