duratec v6 info required
one of my "projects" is a cologne v6 oval race car..
as the colognes are getting harder to get hold of (especially the way I keep blowing them up)
we have been talking about possibly using the 2.5 v6 duratec instead.
this would need to be converted to run a single 38dgas or 40dfav..
has anyone had any experience of doing this.
is there any difference between the ford and mazda variants..
thanks in advance
Gavin

Also fitting a Jag V6 into a Haynes here if you need help 
The 2.5, 3.0 and Jag 3.0 are all variations on the same engine - the Mazda engine is a different lump entirely. Out of the 3 variations the Jag one
is the best IMO as it has slightly better rods and VVT.
I don't see why it couldn't be made to work; the easiest way would be to use an electronic ignition controller rather than retrofitting a
dizzy. The Jag engine has VVT, but if you don't want to use it, it's fine to leave it disconnected.
The Ford V6 and Jag V6 do have different bellhousing bolt patterns and starter motor type\locations AFAIK, so it's worth being wary about
that.
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.
