2nd up from bottom. And also in the top sticky. You need 2 long bolts and 2 short bolts. Contour mount will not bolt to the 3L block. Different bolt size. Cougar mount is $32 from Jenkins.

Then what did you do? Did you use a Contour mount?

And you used the thicker bolts on the block?

IDK what bolts I used. Little bit a this, little bit a that...









But in all seriousness, I used the stock 2.5L bolts...they worked.

It's the other way around:

Bolt shanks are different diameters from Contour/Cougar to Escape ... not sure about the Taurus. The mounts are nearly identical and are interchangable, it's the bolts that must be swapped. I have pictures at home and can post them if you want ... both mounts side by side ... only difference is the bolt shank diameter.

OK. Good to know. Would still get a Cougar mount as there is less to grind. Pete you couldn't have used the stock bolts unless you tapped the block to accept them.
