Never...  There is a 302 RWD conversion kit for a Focus, but a Cougar isn't built on a Focus platform.  It would have to be a complete custom job.

However, the Contour SVT will drop right in.

Doubtful.  There just aint a lot of room.  Summit Racing sponsored a 2002 Cougar racecar with a bigblock.  I've sat in it (it was sold and a friend of mine helped the new owner pick it up - I got plenty of time to study it).  Seeing as the firewall was moved and about the ony stock part on the car might be the - well I can't think of one - it would be EXPENSIVE!  The 3.0 drops right in.  I'd actually wait a year or so and see if a new 3.5 shows up at a JY.  That'll fit too.

I have since i got my 99 wanted to put a new Renesis Rotary in but i doubt that will ever happen and i would rather pay my 99 off before i do any major mods. Have you ever thought about a 3.9 from a wrecked linclon LS?
