Wrong. The taurus/sable pickup and oil pan are different. The pan can be modified to fit the contour through drilling a couple bolts, but it's not a direct swap. Also, the pan is deeper than the contour/escape pan and as such has a unique oil pump pickup for that pan. If you use the escape/contour oil pan with the taurus pickup, it will not fit (trust me, I now have bought 3 escape oil pump pickups due to just noticing this). One other note, the revised windage tray requires different studs on the outer corners of the block than the ones used with the stock windage tray along with the more obvious use of the 4 center studs in lieu of bolts.
