So let me introduce myself, i'm an 18 year old from NY who owns a 99 cougar ATX (late model). I have been researching throwing in a 3L for a little while now, which mainly started because of the sparked interest of my Long Island chapter at NECO. There will be 3-4 of us doing the swap within the next 6 months or so.
My goal is to drop it in simple, easy, and cheap. I want to run a fully stock 3L, and possibly eventually throw a small amount of boost on it (5-8 psi).
My setup:
01 Taurus 3L
2.5 timing belts/cover
change the alternator braket.
remove bearing
braze fuel lines
balance crank
weld egr tube
dyno tune and burn chip.
i believe this covers everything, am i missing anything? sorry its been months of on and off research, and this i bleieve pretty much sums things up. thanks in advance, you CEGers seem to know you 3L's pretty well

Dude, that thread he linked is stickied AT THE VERY TOP OF THIS VERY FORUM. I mean, are you actually working at being this dense? or does it just come naturally?

i used the search key, and went that way ... sorry i didn't think to look that way ... over at neco the only thing on our stickies are which engines to use, whos done them and what they used, and a parts list that is nothing like the "budget" 3L swap over here on CEG. i've adapted to just using the search key, and nothing else over there on NECO. so when i searched over here, by using the search key, i guess i searched wrong or something.

It isn't a search my man. It's a stickie at the top of the forum. No searching necessary it is just THERE!

You are aware that the increase in torque from the 3L might not compliment the ATX very well without blowing up?

3L Oval Port

Lots of other stuff

The CD4E will hold up just fine if it's prepared properly.

Easy guys he aim'd me last night. Just a kid really wanting to learn. He has't been offensive to anyone. Obviously he is young and eager to learn. Don;t listen to some of the old foggies. We just get alot of kids running there mouths about what they are planning. A few words of advice. Try not to say what you will be doing. Stick to one subjext and start on that. On these boards buddy only the strong survive. WE get alot of youngesters talking alot and they never last a week to a month. Just casue people give them soo much [censored]. I see u post in FI and 3L section. Cool your horses down. Your 3L is going to take time to do. Spend more time on the 3L information right now. Before you fill your mind up with turbo this and turbo that  Slow down buddy. Or you will be eaten alive on here.

Yes it can for a short while. But the auto isn't advised. You know that fastcougar.
Anyways.... he is planing a turbo also ontop the 3L  . So yes the auto would be useless.
