update:

engine is in, almost everything's connected - couple of cut wires (fucking last mechanic...), couple of connectors we can't find the ends for, vacuum lines broke when we lifted the engine. I gotta get a crimp thing for the CV boot then put the shafts back in the tranny, reattach tie rod and ball joint.

Why can't you just get some bulk rubber line from an auto parts store

Ford decided to use a tiny hard plastic thing for their vacuum lines

What are you doing with the old engine?  I'd clean it up and turn it into a coffee table, like they did on Top Gear.

Ford doesn't like to give you a whole lot of under hood space on those cars, do they?

As the brother of a semi-former owner of a V6 Contour, I know.  But that engine really isn't compact at all.

As a tire lube guy who pulled a V6 Contour into the garage for an oil change today, I don't think anybody ever said that engine was compact. It has huge big heads.
