I do believe that V6 was none other than the Cologne, Germany-built Ford 2.8 liter that also came in the 72-76 Capri's sold at Mercury dealers. Those things would fly with a 4-speed box.
I knew someone that had a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder (another German-Ford) that was not too shabby either. I hated the 2.3 liter engines because I could never get those stupid Holley 2-barrell carburetors set right...
