That should be Stuyvesant in NYC. Bad spell checker.

Some Ranger 4 cylinders had two plugs per cylinder....

Ford has never built a V-6 in the modular engine family (4.6L V-8,
5.4L V-8, 6.9L V-10). Maybe they planned one, but they never actually
produced one. The V-8 and V-6 engines in a Lincoln are from completely
different engine families, neither of which are related to the Ford
modular engine family. The V-6 is related to the Duratec 3.0L V-6 sold
in many Ford products, but it is actually a different engine that has
some of the same basic dimensions and shares some parts. Not sure of
all of the differences but if you look at the costs, the LS V-6 costs
a lot more than the Duratec V6 from a Sable. Wikipedia lists some of
the differences (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Duratec_engine#Duratec_30 ).
Apparently the heads are completely different. The LS V8 was designed
for Jaguar but was/is built in a Ford retained plant (Bridgend plant).
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_AJ-V8_engine#3.9 .

Go to https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/vin_tools/default.asp and input
the VIN. This will give you the engine size. If the eighth digit is an "A"
the car as the 3.9L V-8, otherwise the V-6.
