		The Ford Vulcan V6 is a 3.0 L (2982 cc/182 in³), 60° V6 engine, first introduced for the 1986 model year and originally designed to be the optional engine in the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable.
		It has also been used in the Ford Probe, the Ford Tempo and Mercury Topaz from 1992 to 1994 (optional), the Ford Aerostar and Ford Windstar minivans, and the Ford Ranger and Mazda B3000 pickup trucks; it replaced the Cologne 2.9 engine (which it is not related to) as the base V6 in the Ranger.
		The engine was designed to use electronic fuel injection from the start (there was never a carburetor-equipped version), and was also sold in a "flexible fuel" configuration that could burn normal gasoline, E85 (a blend of 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol) or any mixture of these two fuels.

	Choose Crankshaft Information - How To - Mustang & Fords
		This is a typical Ford small-block crankshaft made up of a series of main journals that support the crank in the block and a series of rod journals offset from the main centers.
		Many engine builders and crankshaft specialty shops radius the oil holes in the journals, which improves the flow of oil to the bearings.
		Internally balanced engines utilize concentric or zero-balanced harmonic balancers, while externally balanced engines require balancers and flywheel/flexplates that are offset-balanced.
