only reason i'm going with a swap is 1)not a chance it hell i could sell this car if i wanted. 2) tranny on the 2.3 sucks A$$ so there's no point 3) have a guy that is doing the swap and custom work for dirt cheap.
but as i said before, if you are thinking swap....and daily driver especially, stop thinking about it.
but for humors sake, did anyone ever find a swap? i think the 2.5 duratec bolted up to a version of the 2.5 right? you'd still need axles and whatnot as well, not to mention you computer not liking you much after that.
