If its in the bottom end, you would be better picking up a 3.0L since they are cheaper than an svt 2.5L block. Theres no point in rebuilding when that is more expensive than just throwing a used motor in there. Used 3.0Ls start from about $400.

Considering Ford currently or did put the motor in the Taurus/Sable/Escape/Lincoln LS/Jaguar/X-type, etc its readily available. Pick up a motor from the Taurus, Sable, Escape for the cheapest. Yes, its fairly easy to do. Its done so much, we have a 3.0L branch over on contour.org with how-to's, etc.
