Have access to an 03' ford taurus 3liter engine and the vin to the car is bad so it's a freebie. Any thoughts on putting it in a914?

I think they are doing a 3.2 SHO engine.
Free isn't always cheap in the long run.
Having owned a Taurus with a 3.0 I would not do it. Not a lot of he for the weight.
I think it was about 140 hp.
Went through water pumps about every 30000 miles.
