I am currently looking at buying a 96 SE with a Duratec V-6 and am wodering what kind of issues I'm going to run into when I put it in my 99 SE with the Zetec, I know the PCM and probably most of the wiring harness for the car will have to be swapped out, I'm not worried about that...sort of. The main thing I'm wondering is whether it has even been done yet and Will I need to take the sub-framing as well when I fit it in to the 99. Before it's ready to put in I am going to rebuild it from top to bottom, so this could be a long term project. I am open to ideas and suggestions. Thanks

because I have a zetec in my car currently and I can buy the whole 96, running, for $250 and the right side of it played pinball with the retainer wall on the highway.

From what I have read, its a project dropping a v6 into a tour that came with the I4... all sorts of different stuff. I suggest you sell the I4 and fix up the v6 LOL

the only way you could MAYBE pull it off is an itty bitty v8, like the 3.4 from the late model sho's, and a BIG hammer and ALOT of $$$. MAYBE
