What manufacturer made the 2000 3.0 V6 Flex Fuel Automatic? I saw some threads that said Vortec, but I wanted a sure answer. #Lost

Yeah, I actually just found that Vulcan 3.0's were pretty common with 98-2011 Rangers. Not all of them, but I think that answers my question. It's a really reliable engine. Thanks for the help though man (: #Vulcan

vortec is a GM only engine name.

the 3.0 ford engine was named the vulcan after the roman god of fire & such, that is often depicted as a blacksmith forging weapons from iron. they chose the name because of the 3.0's very traditional design involving a cast iron block and heads, and it's reliable, proven OHV design.

there was also another 3.0 V6 ford used in some taururs's known as the 3.0 duratec, which uses a more modern DOHC design.
