I know the 2000-2002 Mercury Cougar's are basically newer probes.. They have a 2.5 v6 any chance this engine would fit into the mx-3? or How different is it...

No they dont fit. I'm fairly sure they have the Duratec block which does not swap into our cars.

Why would you? It has only 170hp. The ZE has 195.

I'll confirm... Duratecs are not a direct swap.
And I believe they are ~ 160-165.
