Is a 3.5 engine a V6?

Ford 3.5 V6 engines are also known as the Duratec 35, 3.5 TiVCT, or 3.5 Cyclone. The engine offers 265-290 horsepower and 248-255 lb-ft of torque. That kind of power isn’t going to WOW anyone, especially today. However, the 3.5 Duratec engine does offer a great balance of fuel economy and reliability.
