Powertrain Pimp Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It was rumored that a 2.7 litre v6 was going to be produced . I have not heard much about this lately . Does any one have any valid information . Will it be produced ? High or low volume ? Where will it be manufactured , In the UAS or ? That engine will be made in the USA. It is currently rumored to be built at the Lima Engine Plant. Which would be an obvious choice for Ford, based on Lima's reputation for superior quality, and union company relations. Also Lima has over 67% of empty floor space. The Duratec 2.7 will be a sister, or based on the same acrhitecture that Lima's current Duratec 3.5 is based on. I do not know about volume, but preliminary numbers indicate somewhere in the 325K per year range. Only time will tell. I hope this info was helpful for you....
