Looked at a 3.2 mv6 manual to replace it, imo my current 2.5td pulls way harder
  :y Interesting point because mine is a 5-Speed Manual 2.5 V6 and a chap that drag races classic ford zodiacs offered me £1200 just for the engine, not for a zodiac but some other shell? Of course I said no because I have no plans to let the mig go! Told him there are bigger mig lumps but he was only interested in the 24v 2.5 ??? BTW sorry KW, I didn't know migs were born in Cheshire & keep wrongly being told they were german designed/engineered  :o

The car was indeed built in Germany but the V6 engines were built in Ellesmere Port. :y

 Rüsselsheim is where they were built, no mention of the engine unless i missed it on wiki.

what i did find interesting is the 100k belt interval once the tensioners were upgraded..

thats good to know :) A feat of great british ingenuity, that more than compensates for the poor record of Leyland etc..  :y

I wouldnt take any notice of that at all. Wiki is a notorious source of false info. 40k or 4 years every time. ;)
I noticed there was a link to OOF at the bottom though. :y

Having owned a 3ltr and still own a 2.5 and 3.2 (although not in an Omega) there is nothing much between them

All have the same faults, to 60 in the real world with an auto box theres nothing between the 2.5 and 3ltr. 50-70ish the 3ltr pulls better and keeps pulling for longer.
From a standing stard the 3.2 is quicker, but the 100kgs odd less might be the reason for that.

What i really can't work out is why the Y32 has 9ish more BHP but some 10ish less ft/lb torque than the Z32

No multiram intake setup. :y

Might even have different cams, I suppose?
