If I have my facts straight, the 3L conversion uses the SVT 2.5 heads.
So if I were to rent a Taurus for the weekend, take out the engine, put my 2.5 liter back in to the taurus, would I be able to put the 3L heads on the 2.5 engine? If so, would it run ok?

I don't think it would be right and I don't think you should do it, but that would probably be the coolest thing I've heard anyone do in a long time. 
Old - 95.5 SE with lot's of mods.
New - 98 Black SVT with few mods.

Hey, I was actually thinking about the feesability of this too! Im too honest to do it myself, but I was curious if it could be done. I mean, make both cars into working vehicles again. I just thought it was funny that someone finally asked it for me...

the chances of a rental car having the 3L duratech instead of the 3L Vulcan are pretty slim.
It's all about balance.
