I am in the process of a Full 3.0L Swap from a 2003 Ford Escape to putting it into my 2000 Cougar.
 I have been replacing a few components in the engine which I felt were old such as the bearings and rings. The whole engine will remain relatively unchanged from the Escape's original 3.0 design which includes injectors and manifolds from the escape, I will be using the Cougar's ECU and Wiring Harness when it's in the car. The problem then is after I get the car running I have heard it will run terribly without some sort of tune. Down in SA I have been contacting a few different dyno places but no one wants to take it on. As apparently our cougars aren't compatible with SCT? or so I was told  . I have also been looking into it on the newcougar forum and apparently our Aussie Cougar ECU's are different to the Yank ones. Which leaves me wondering, has anyone had any success with tuning their Cougar at all? (With 2.5 or 3.0L) or knows if our Cougars are able to be tuned with the SCT Xcal4 tuner? Cheers
