Mercury cougar motor swaps?

If your question refers to the Mercury Cougars produced between 1999 and 2002' then you have several options. Assuming that it is a V6, for a stock replacement, you can either track down another Cougar, or find a V6 Mercury Mystique, or Ford Contour, or provided you are in Europe, a Ford Mondeo of a similar year and engine. If you want a little more muscle in your Cougar, you can track down and attempt a 3.0L conversion using the engine from a 2003-2005 Taurus or Sable, or similar Escapes. If you have the I4 version of the Cougar, I think a motor out of similar Contours and Mystiques will work no problem, but I think that the motors from the Focus are different and need a good bit of modification to fit right in a cougar.
