Guys have master the ATX to MTX swap. A few can do the 3.0L swap in their sleep. What is next? A full restoration of an E0 SVT? Where does the Contour/Mystique go from here?

Wouldn't you think the 3.4L V8 would fit in a Tour, since they put them in the SHO Taurus? cuz the 3.0L V6 they had in the Taurus, and the 3.0L will also fit a Tour.
Oh and for those who know about the Cam problems on the SHO, they've got that problem solved, my dad had a 99 SHO and he always went to www.v8sho.com for all his info. and this guy welded the cams so they wouldn't turn and my dad had that guy weld the cams, and the car ran a lot better too.
Just a little F.Y.I.

Too many technical hurdles with what I wanted to do. No easily available computer would manage a CD4E and a V8 (especially with VCT!)
The 3L Jag engine will be easier, and still have room leftover for a turbo
However, the AJ8 or LimaV8 WILL fit in that engine bay with no big problems.
3.4V8 SHO engine is crap.
