No one wanted a V6 SN-95 Mustang. As time drew on, the engine known as the Essex V6 became notorious for being unreliable. The other vehicles they came in, including the Taurus, Windstar and F-150 were also undesirable. The engine was under powered thanks to its archaic design with only two valves per cylinder, proving to limit airflow. Moreover, it had a strong tendancy to blow headgaskets, causing engine oil to mix with coolant which is what happened to the engine in this video.

That simplicity however, is a remarkable flashback to little electronics governed how combustion engines worked, not even just 20 years ago. The only wires on this engine are for the crank position sensor for a tachometer, and the ignition coil wiring.

The Ford Essex features an iron block with aluminum heads and blown headgaskets. It uses an overhead valve design, with the camshaft located between the V-bank of the 90 degree V6 block. Due to its 90 degree bank, a small balance shaft is used to minimize vibrations.
