Totally different motors. If you haven't noticed, there's a lot more room under the Taurus hood with the 3.0L than there is under the Contour hood with the 3.0L(2.5L also for that matter, as there's no size difference). the 3.4L is just flat out too big.

The rims I ordered and will be here Tuesday!!  Then some suspension related shtuff such as putting on the H&R's, the Aussie bar in the future, and strut bars.  Don't get me wrong, theres a whole list of [censored] to do to the tour, but it will be done!
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

What happened to the 3.9L V8?
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.
I can't even change the rear bank plugs with my 3L oval port manifold bolted on. Fug trying to get a small displacement V8 in there.

V-8 & RWD. I've been brainstorming that one myself.

Insurance is less on a Contour SE.
