Interesting to see that they don't have independent VCT. I thought that was one of the features of this engine.

interesting pics, see the tiny exhaust manifold outlets, as some one commented probably to speed up spooling.

Pistons have carboned up quick, but that seems to be a feature of DI engines if you dont thrash them occasionally.

I'd expect that 2013 year model Taurus SHO will have the upgraded engine to keep those pesky Chevys at bay.... |

227kw is damn impressive from such a small v6 block, especially stock.
