		It is the second most common engine configuration in modern cars after the straight-4; it shares with that engine a compactness very suited to the popular front wheel drive layout, and is becoming more popular as car weights increase.
		V6 engines that are converted from V8 engines often have three shared crankpins arranged at 120° from each other, similar to a inline 3-cylinder with two pistons per crankpin.
		This engine saw a new evolution in 1966 when it was adapted to road use and produced by a Ferrari-Fiat joint-venture for the Fiat Dino and Dino 206 GT (this car was made by Ferrari but sold under the brand Dino).

		The Canadian Essex was a pushrod design featuring aluminum heads, which reduced its weight considerably and made it a very powerful engine for its size.
		The Essex and the smaller Vulcan V6 are the last traditional pushrod OHV engines built by Ford.
		One source states that the Essex is instead a copy of the Buick V6 engine [1], done since Ford needed a working V6 much faster than building one from scratch would take (the Cologne V6 couldn't meet fuel economy requirements, and the all-new Vulcan was several years away from production at that point).

	Mechanical engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mechanical engineers use principles such as heat, force, and the conservation of mass and energy to analyze static and dynamic physical systems, in contributing to the design of things such as automobiles, aircraft, and other vehicles, heating and cooling systems, household appliances, industrial equipment and machinery, weapons systems, etc.
		Mechanical engineers often create simulations of the operation of objects, as well as the manufacturing processes to be used, in order to optimize performance, cost effectiveness, and energy efficiencies, before settling on a particular design.
		Engineering drawings of the objects to be fabricated are the end product for a design engineer.

		The Essex is the 3.0 / 2.8 and 2.3 units which were fitted to 70's fords, and were the bigger power plants in the Granada / Cortina and Capri's of that time.
		The 2.9 and 2.4 (of which relatively few 2.4 were made) are 'improved' V6 units, which, according to reports, are different engines, but there are many commonalities that lead me to believe the 2.9 is an evolution of the V6.

	Ford Essex
		The V6 engine that was used in the TVR 3000M is from Ford and is called Essex.
		The Essex engine have undergone several modifications during its long life, it seems that the newer engines are much better as improvements have been continuously introduced, these engines are of course the ones that preferably are used for tuning.
		In these engines it is a quite cheap way to gain some power but in an Essex engine the camshaft/valve lift ratio is already 1.47 and there are marginal gains to be made by using rockers with for instance a 1.6 ratio.

		Rather than consider the Rover V8 (such a conversion is offered by May Engineering of Epsom) he reasoned that the Ford Essex V6 would give just about the same performance, be as rugged, give better access, be simple to service, and most important - cost much less.
		Fabricated engine mounts pick up at the original chassis points, while at the front end, the Triumph fan is now mounted on the crankshaft pulley via a machined hub.
		The purist or collector might abhor such a conversion, yet the original engine is so trouble prone (overheating leading to head gasket and bottom end failure) unless religiously maintained, that the availability of an alternative power unit might actually increase the popularity of the marque.
