All automatic Contours/Mystiques came with the CD4E attached.

As for what other models can safely mate with the Duratec... well, that has yet to be discussed, but I do know that all early model LS's had the option of the ATX with Shift Tronic (or whatever it is called) technology, which was mated to the 3 liter duratecs.

That would of course not be a direct replacement though. There are some serious electrical issues to overcome first though. Other then that... there is really nothing else.
