The reason i ask is because a cousin i know has a 1999 contour that is automatic. The 4 cylinder engine is blown and lucky i have a complete 1998 svt engine in my garage. I really hate puting such a great engine in an auto but was just wondering. thanks

See now you are talking something completely different.

You'd need A HELL OF A LOT more then just the engine.

You'd need the entire front half of a V6 car plus the wiring harnesses and a custom chip.

Add to that another tranny. The V6 will not work with a 4 cyl tranny. Besides the bellhousing being different and not able to be removed (IIRC), the input shafts are different lengths as well as many other things on the inside.
