The reason is I have an extra 3.0 OHV motor and a Taurus that has a bad Dura motor. nothing personal aginest Dura engine.

You would have to change everything from you computer to your coolant resevoir,wiring harness , hoses, etc.
I would try to sell the vulcan and buy a duratec. I think you would be ahead in the long run.

Contingent on miles you could probably sell the vulcan for 5 to 600.00
and give 7 to 800.00 for a used duratec.

I guess it could be done but I wouldn't want to tackle the job.

yeah a Vulcan isnt that great of a motor. If its just that you want the car running and you happen to have a Vulcan then go for it, but it wouldnt be as great a car.
