Not trying to start a flame war here, but can we see some credentials? There are many VERY knowledgeable people who have assembled this FAQ through experience, so I kinda wonder who you are.

No problem, I've been northeast region director of the Lincoln LS Owner's Club for several years, I own an '00 Lincoln LS with 3.0L and one of the rare Getrag manual transmissions. Also for MY '03 and forward the throttle was changed from mechanical to electronic. I've been roving boards for lots of different cars to try and find what people are doing to modify their 3.0's. The best example I've found is the Roush tuned 3.0 for the Noble, that sucker puts out 425 hp with modified cams, port & polished heads, forged pistons and twin turbo's, but at $18,000 an engine I guess you should expect as much.
I'm not positive, but I believe the biggest difference in the LS/Jag engine is in the heads, the valves and cams use DAMB tappets instead of the rollers used in the taurus/sable. In the Jag it's known as the AJ30 engine. Believe it or not the 3.0 was orriginally a Porsche design which they sold to Cosworth(which Ford just sold) who developed the 2.5 Duratec and eventually bored it out to the 3.0 litre size.
