V6 has 3 cylinders on each bank in a V shape BLOCK when viewed from the front.
I6 and straight 6 are the same thing........ All cylinders are in line with one cylinder directly behind the other. FYI, the Current FORDS have the I6, the Mitsubishi , GM and TOYOTA all use the V6 config. |

Just to make it more confusing the Ford Ranger has a 4.0L V6. Not to be mistaken AT ALL with the Falcons 4.0L I6

Don't forget the secret weapon, the very popular "five" cylinder falcon.
(and this is Frords official site or maybe it's the Volvo influence) http://www.fordusedcars.com.au/searc...26&Submit.y=11 |

Don't forget the "flat" six. 3 cylinders in each bank horizontally opposed. I think the Subaru Liberty's use this type of engine and also some Porsche models.
