MX-3.com

the question is ...
will this be a nice fit on the MX3 ?

thanks in advance gang

From what I know It is a 60 degree v6 the same as a kl/k8. Thats all I really know about the motor. I dont know about the mounts, trans, axels, Wireing... theres so much that would have to be changed.. It might work.. There must be info about it on here.

I suppose it would be possible to make it work, but the time and money needed to do it would not be worth it. The 2.5 Duratec is a Ford motor, not really even related to the KL series V-6s. A KLZE still has more power and would be cheaper and much easier to swap.

if I was going to the effort of putting in a non K series engine, it wouldn't be this one!

ok gang, thanks for the info
i saw it and i had a feeling ... but ok

The 3L version makes about as much power as the KL, no aftermarket either, although it is a good motor, my parents have had 2 gens of taurus both with the duratec and it is a good motor. They have a close resemblence to the KL motor as well, that one seems to be a SVT contour motor. Check out the taurus duratech engine:



Looks like a DE haha
