No not even close, the engines are totally different, the vulcan used to run a distributor in the early models and when the new ignition system was initiated the hole was still in the block so thats where the sensor is, on the duratec it never ran a distributor and if i'm not mistaken it sits near the timing belt on the top of the engine, where as the vulcan is buried under the intake and wiring, but short answer no, totally different..
