I keep reading that the standard engine in the 1998 Contour SE is the V6 like on this site.

http://research.cars.com/go/crp/features.jsp?destURL=features.jsp&year=1998&makeid=14&modelid=168&myid=1790&superTrim=&acode=USA80FOC021D0&logtype=7&aff=national

I have a 1998 Contour SE Sport. It doesn't have a V6 though. Does anyone know if it could of been ordered with the 4 cyl. I have in it, or could this car of had the engine swapped out?

I've seen plenty of SE sport with the L4. You can check with your VIN to be sure that it's suppose to have the L4.

Check in the FAQ to found which letter mean the engine code.
I think it's the 8th or 10th.

I never seen cougar with 4 cyl.
I think that they come factory with the V6.
