Has everyone seen this? This might be a repost, but what the hey! Duratec 35 It states that the Duratec 3.5L will be of the same dimensions of the Duratec 3.0L, which subsequently has the same dimensions of the Duratec 2.5L. So you see where I'm going with this. The way I read it though, was that they were going to be adding iVVT. A post in this thread states that the Mazda may pickup the iVVT. If the Ford 3.5L Duratec doesn't have it, what do you guys think the chances are that we'll see this as another option for the Contour? It says right in the article that this is another option for current Duratec vehicles. Mark

My understanding was the the 'new' line of Duratecs (2.3L, 3.5L, etc) were no way related to the 'old' Duratecs?
Also, it says same physical dimensions, I don't see a reference to bore/stroke, and those types of dimensions...

Yes, we'll definitely need some more info. I was going off of their statement that says that the engine can be used in cars that accept the 3.0L Duratec. Whether they are talking about the Taurus/Sable/Escape, or the Mazda 6 and Fusion 3.0L.

My understanding is that Jaguar will be the target car for this front wheel drive engine in 2006.. This will be equipped with a six-speed paddle shifting automatic.. I can't wait, I'll get it shoe-horned into the Cougar or die trying.

We are talking about dropping in a completely different (forge) block than the 2.5L/3.0L based cars, so considering what all is involved with that, why not just fabricate a new mount?

Sure - you can do that - but the biggest hurdle is the connection to the transaxle. That's something I wouldn't bother with.
Turbo + 3L (or 2.5L) >> Duratec 3.5L

I guess I read the article wrong about using the 3.5L in vehicles that already use the 3.0L Duratec. I took it as, you could swap the 3.5L into a vehicle that currently holds the 3.0L, when in actuality, they meant that they made it the same size so they could start producing the same cars(Mazda 6 and Fusion) to hold the 3.5L without having to mess with the subframe, mounts, etc. Mainly so they don't have to reinvent the wheel.
I guess I'll just have to look into buying a Fusion down the road if/when they come out with a manual tranny. This motor looks like it has some serious potential!
