    Good luck.



  • These cars don't have the highest resale value, you could buy another contour used for 2600 and keep your current one as a parts car. I don't know a lot about 3L upgrades but I would imagine that since the 3l is used in a few different cars they have to be more common. Unless you are a mechanic yourself, you can never be too sure what to expect with an enging swap. Back in the pre-computerized days, it was much easier to do. Now you can have a lot of problems swapping an engine.
