Interesting.
Hudson, I have no knowledge to refute your statement, but it does seem odd that Ford would choose to use a Nissan motor in their Mercury vehicle and not in their Ford. Of course, I never knew that Nissan had ANY relationship with Ford but it seems i'm the only one without this knowledge. And yes, I agree that Nissan does know how to make a much better V6 motor. The VQ is the highest rated motor used in most of the Nissan family's high end vehicles (Altima, Maxima, I30, I35, 300ZX, 350Z). Chris

DNE:
Ford worked with Nissan on no fewer than two programs. The VX54/VX149 (Villager/Quest) and the UX70 (Terrano II/Maverick). The partnership never seemed to progress very far and probably ended when Renault stepped into the picture. As for the VQ engine, it is a great powerplant but was it really offered in the 300ZX?

oops... i lied... it's a VG not VQ
RWD VG30DE & VG30DETT But that's yet ANOTHER beautiful V6 which was also used in the Maxima and I30 and other 3.0L V6 Nissan vehicles, except they were FWD. Chris
