So just to clarify, is this question you have concerning your contour or your Taurus? AND Does your contour already have the 3L in it or still 2.5L? Because if you only have a 2.5L in your Contour, just swapping in the 3L with the contour heads/intakes and stock fuel injection hardware will give you the extra 50 HP you are looking for. You add the other goodies and you will really be Sportin' at that point.  Just check out my website under the 2001 engine swap link

I have already swapped the 3L into my 1998 SVT Contour. I ended up swapping over the complete wiring harness and had to get a new flywheel and ground down a section of the cam and weld washers to the cam to keep the flywheel in position.
After I figure out what I want done with the engine I will replace the cam.
Right now I am stuck driving my daughters Geo Tracker and would like to get a real car running soon.

The flywheels didn't match up so I got a flywheel off a newer duratec, in order to make this work I had to ground down part of crank. Then I had used lobe spacers which I think arc welded the lobe spacers.
Also before some ass brings in the accusations and questioning my abilities.

In all honesty if you did these major modifications, how come you can't figure out how to get 50 hp from a duratec? If you have already had a sho and a 315hp ohv 3.0liter??
With all this gread education and personal past with modifiying cars?
Since i have never seen a vulcan 3.0liter ever before do anything over 280whp.
This should be a cake walk for you.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
