i know its not a duratec but i was wondering if it is possible to swap the 2.5 for the SHO engine? would it fit? what would i need other than the ecu and all of the other obvious items to make this work, and last but not least, would it be worth it?

are you talking about the 3.0 yamaha motor?
if so, when it is running right and well maintained it is a great motor.
but when anything goes wrong, it is expensive as hell to fix.

sure if a guy can put on into a tempo why not a contour, think it took him close to a year and he had to custom re-build the front end of the car to fit the engine ....

I don't know how many people have asked me this question about the 3L SVT's I've sold. They know it is a 2002 3L Taurus motor and yet they still ask if it is from a SHO. WTF?

i know the diff. i was just wondering if it was possible, not that i want to or have the means to do it, someone at my shop asked why i didnt want that motor instead of the 3L and i didnt think that it would be all that much better if at all.
