Hey guys, I picked up a 2000 Taurus Wagon to use as my new kid hauler. 54k miles, serviced regularly by the original owner... A real cream puff if you don't mind the motor is fried and it has a salvage history. 
Anyhow, it was a pretty good C/L deal. So I've got a good 55k motor and I'm ready to do the swap. I'm dropping it out the bottom. Any words of wisdom?

Hehe, that's alota work for 30hp or so... 
Which engine does your Taurus have now? There were 2 different 3 liter engines in 2000. If it has the OHV engine...I'd go SHO, if I didn't care to do some fabbing work, but if it has the DOHC, then you are correct, pointless to go the SHO route.
I should have mentioned it was the DOHC motor. I doubt I'd be doing this if it were a Vulcan.
because the vulcan wouldn't be broke
In reply to belteshazzar:
Probably right. 
I had a 96 Ranger with the Vulcan. Sumbitch only lasted 325,000mi. before throwing a rod. Not exactly a delicate motor.
I'll just drop this riiiiight here...
