The differences are similar to the differences between the Jag V8 and the Mark VIII engine. The Jag V6 is made in America though, much to the frustration of many Britts. Jim Johnson 98 SVT

I was informed the GT-90 was two 3L Duratec engines sonically welded together, so in essense, I would consider it a Duratec. Maybe not other people though. -Chris Hightower- -Hightower Performance Products, LLC (Oo.�xx�.oO) o xxxxxxxxx o
