It won't fit in the engine bay, or bolt up to our motor?
Differant bolt pattern, wont just bolt in

Just because other people have deemed it impossible or unlikely, or even dumb, doesn't mean it can't be done.......maybe it has to be totally customized to work, who knows, if you want to do it, pursue it and be the first to make it work. All I know is that, without people trying things that haven't been done before, everyone here would all be doing the same things. Forget the 3L swap, turbos, etc., nothing would become "acceptable" if it weren't for the pioneering people on this site who made things possible when everyone flamed them and told them it wouldn't work. Maybe you could pioneer the 6 speed swap..........
No what we are saying is that it has been tried. Repeatedly. Ask Terry Haines.
Mondy uses a completely different subframe I thought. I thought that there wasnt a problem with bolting one of those up to the motors, they just dont physically fit. Isnt the trans case configured differently too because the car is in a right hand drive configuration?

I thought we were talking about the SVTF not the mondeo 6 speed. I bet geting one imported would make it insane expensive
Why do you need a 6 speed? will it improve the drivability of your duratec? Its not gonna make your car go any faster and it just gives you tighter gear ratios. If its just to make your car look cooler, why not just get a shift knob off a 6 speed focus and tell people your car has a 6 speed.
What I responded with was more more of a generalization toward pushing the boundaries of what's possible through modification.
Even if it has been tried repeatedly, does that mean it couldn't be done? No, it just means it hasn't been accomplished yet.......will it ever, I dunno, heck I could care less. All I'm saying is that there's always a way, whether it's practical or not, to get something to work. Thats why I'm saying we should give him any info we have like the pros/cons and roadblocks, then let him find a way around it if he can, not tell him it can't be done.
