True, true.

Pull the plugs and look down into the cylinders. If you see antifreeze quit wasting time. If there is antifreeze in the oil (white foamy crud) you need annother engine, otherwise you may get away with a head gasket.

Converting to a Duratec requires changing computer and wiring harness at the very least.
