Can anyone tell me if a motor from a 98 contour with the 2.5L v6 will swap directly with a 97 contour with the 2.5L v6 or will some changes need to be made to accomplish this?

The engine swap itself will be straight forward. You may have to retain some of your original sensors but most of them should be interchangeable.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I spoke with a salvage yard, and the gentleman says that the Cam Sensor Position is different from 97 to 98, as well as Intake and Exhaust Manifold.
Has anyone done a swap from a 97 motor to a 98 motor who can tell me first hand how much trouble this will be?
Thanks in Advance,
Brad

If you need assistance on it... here's it broken down:
1. The engine will fit with no mechanical modifications; if you want to believe the guy at the junkyard, swap the intake/exhaust off the bad engine to the good one.
2. You will need to swap SOME/MOST sensors from the bad engine to the good one. So when you pull the bad engine, compare all the sensors with the new engine... if they are different, use the one off the old engine.
Sorry, for some reason I'm wanting to rag on people!

The manifolds are the same. The yard worker knows not of what he speaks.
