Ford used the Duratec 30 engine in the Escape from 2001 to 2012. This popular V6 has been the power source behind various subsidiary vehicles. The Mariner and Tribute also shared performance due to the reliable 6-cylinder block. Because Ford has since switched to Ecoboost technology, locating a vintage replacement can be harder. On this website, anyone can buy a Ford Escape 3.0L engine on sale used. Escape SUV V6 Specs The roots of the Duratec can be traced back to the year 1996. Development was already underway for a new block to take the place of Essex and Vulcan builds. The DOHC was kept although a change to the cubic inch displacement was apparent. A rise to 181 CID provided a much larger foundation for power. Most of the Escape fleet uses the aluminum heads and cast iron aluminum base. The sequential fuel injection was the primary source of power in the 3.0L. Compression is fixed at 10:0:1. There are four valves for every cylinder placed in the Duratec V6. The horsepower is around 200 to 240. The red line limit in most modern SUVs is 5900 RPM. This is standard across most competitor vehicles from GM. This keeps the power level down to avoid blowing the block at high speeds. People who prefer to buy used Duratec 30 engines for sale online will appreciate inventory here.
