Did probes ever come with a 3.0 engine or an engine called a Vulcan?? Vulcan 3.0 came in Taurus / Sables. This guy is telling me they did, and saying he saw two of them in the Junkyard. I wanted to ask you all first before I told him he is Full of s---.

Thanks for the info.

I think he is pulling your chain.

yah the vulcan engine was the engine i think that came in SHOs taurus
(i think).

They didnt come stock in any probes EVER!!
HOWEVER, some people have swapped the SHO engines into probes and other vehicles for their potential.

I did a google search and came up with this :

dont have a clue what the engine is called but the pre-93 probe had a 3.0L v6 option.

i found a site that said in 1990, the probe LX was given the Vulcan 3.0 liter 12-valve V6 engine with electronic fuel injection...

ive never heard of a 3ltr probe.... i guess ill retract my statements

The 89-92 Probe could be had with a 4 banger, turbo 4 banger, and a V6. The turbo was the fun car and the V6 was more a touring coupe.

OOps.. sorry.. I misread the question.. Apparently they were available in the 1990 Probe.

Yea...i found the V-6 3.0 info a little late too. Stuck my foot in my mouth. LMAO.

Its a POS Ford engine, Ford didn't make good 6cylinder engines untill recently. They've alway's made good 8s though.... *cough* BOSS *cough*
