No one wanted a V6 SN95 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 F150 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 Vbank of the 90 degree V6 block. Due to its 90 degree bank, a small balance shaft is used to minimize vibrations.
