I'm certainly not an expert, check out the 3L pages...
The SVT Contour's only came in the 2.5L V6. When they are talking about a 3L they are talking about a 3L Duratec from another Ford, like a Taurus or Escape, etc.

its not ready to go, it'll take like 2 months for Rick (Buckshot77) to build it up then send it to you..

It'll also need the heads, cams, etc. attached. That's why it's a short block. Not trying to be insulting, just making sure you don't expect to just bolt it straight in.
