They came with a 3.8L or the 4.6L.
Possibly. I have a 1995 Cougar with the 4.8L V8 and have used various parts from a 96 Thunderbird. My understanding is that, at least from 94 to 97 the 4.8l v8 engines are the same for the cougar, t-bird, mustang, Lincoln mark VII... You can find a usergroup online for cougars and thunderbirds, they have alot of info!
According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) the 1.8 and the 1.9 liter four cylinder engines used in a 1995 Mercury Tracer are ( NON - INTERFERENCE engines )
