engine swapping what I can and what I can't get away with 3 l v6 duratec

Asked by Seemore Mar 08, 2021 at 02:46 PM about the 2006 Mercury Mariner Premier AWD

Question type: General

Engine swap but specifically for performance is there a 3 l
turbo or a supercharged kit or does it have to be a 3 l duratec
engine v6 can I boost it up to like a 3.5 this is my first time
modding a car and I'm very comfortable with the working on
it however I don't have the knowledgea typical mechanic
would have and there's not too many sites offering
information on Mercury Mariners mainly a Ford escape
however I'm pretty sure that just add the smaller version
squeezing in maybe a 3.6 is asking too much or is that even
possible what are my limitations when swapping an engine
out what can't I do

A Mariner is basically a higher sitting Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable family vehicle. You don't want to waste your time and money swapping in another engine, especially a bigger one. It would be all custom work and crazy expensive because you would have others do the work for you. Sell it and pick up a Ford Edge with a 3.5L.

My guess is that if you are driving a 2006 Mariner you lack the financing to fund a supercharger kit if one even exists. Save your cash and get a more mod friendly car.
