Does a 1997 Ford Taurus have a 6 cylinder or 4 cylinder engine?

Ford made the mistake of using 4 cylinder engines only in 1986 - the year the Taurus was introduced.
The complaints were heard, and ever since then the Taurus/Sables came equipped with v6 engines (not counting the SHO models).
Here's the most common engines used:
- 3.0 litre 12valve "Vulcan" (yeah, there's a few Star Trek jokes to be made off that)
Known to be a workhorse of an engine - Flex fuel - don't know much about this one, but think it is built off the Vulcan 3.0
- 3.8 litre - don't know it's name... Might have been Ralph or Louis
Big and took up all sorts of room in the engine compartment - 3.0 litre 24 valve DOHC (dual overhead cam) Duratec - also fills the engine compartment and provides a respectable amount of power
