3.0L Jaguar X-type is also a duratec.

The Jaguar engines, Mazda 6 engine and Lincoln LS engines all use Variable valve timing which would be practically impossible to adapt over to the Contour/Cougar platform without bringing over all the electronics from that car. The variable valve timing is one reason why these engines have more power than the normal 3.0L's. It might be possible to use the blocks but then you might as well use the Tuarus/Sable/Escape engine because your just paying more for the name if you get the jaguar/LS/6 block.
