The 3.8 L was replaced by the 3.9 L in 2004. The Essex and the smaller Vulcan V6 are the last traditional pushrod OHV engines built by Ford. The Canadian Essex’s origins are controversial. The engines share the same bore/stroke ratio, with the V6 displacing 2.7L and the V8 displacing 3.6L. The V6 was launched in 2004 and as of 2011 also serves in Ford Australia's Territory SUV; the V8 in 2006. The V6 engine meets the Euro IV emissions standards. A 3.0L was added in 2009 and is based on the 2.7L. Common Construction The low-down 255 lbs/ft plus torque and 210 BHP produced by these naturally aspirated developments of these Ford V6 OHV engines is awesome - because the power is available across such a wide rev band.
