and the Duratec engine does have plenty of torque

I like the install, reminds me of the Miatas with the 5.0's in 'um.

That's gotta be fast.

Remember, it's a 3L Duratec, and a tuned one at that (200/200 stock at the crank). I can attest that on a car that small the torque would be more than sufficient. Not 302 torque, but plenty good none the less.

There are several miatas that ford did with lincoln ls 3 liters. there was one at head quarters a couple of months ago. cars bad ass

Don't forget that the Lincoln 3L is pumping out a few more than it does in Taurus trim....

I've driven a monster miata with the 'ol Five oh from a '91 stang. From what I understand, engine & drivetrain pretty much drop in with minor mods. One of the fastest cars I've ever driven. Breathtaking acceleration. On par with a 911 Turbo.
