Yes... i figured i knew it was..but i remember getting into an argument with someone about the 3.0 and they were saying it wasn't either type, i wasnt sohc or ohv...because i wanted to make a 3.0L OHV decal....and they said it wasn't OHV...

cuz there's also the 3.0 duratec engines too

Right, found in the Escape/Tribute and who knows what else. The Duratec probably does not use push rods and is a more "modern" engine. I will however gladly stick with the ol' reliable Vulcan.

Mine is a hybrid of both

Ok fine, just the throttle body is Duratec but whatever.

OHV = over head valve. With cam in block with push rods. Your 3.0l Vulcan engine is just that.

The 3.0 L V6 Duratecs aka mondeo engine is a dohc alum block.

Flex or Flexible Fuel Vehicle, can run on gasoline or ethanol.

There's also the 3.0/3.2 SHO engines, also DOHC, but completely different than the Duratec one.

Furthermore, why would you want to make 3.0 badges? No one brags about their vehicle having the base engine :P
