You would need to replace the subframe and transmission as well as a whole list of other parts to go from Zetec to Duratec. Total cost would probably be more than going out and buying a V6 Contour.

Please use the search feature as this has been discussed many times. It's more or less a waste of money unless you are into throwing it away and in that case, I'll gladly take some.

Seems it's that time of year again as posts like these are getting rampant.

the ONLY time it would be reasonable to do is if you get a rear-totalled v6 contour for dirt cheap, that way you got entire parts car, you will need practiacally the whole front of it!

Oh ye of little faith.
I keep telling you I'll do it. It shall be done.
And on the 7th day I shall rest.

Russell, I know where we're getting my donor. And I also have a good idea of where the motor is coming from.
