Sorry, Frederic, I meant the older generation taurus/sable.  They came with 3.0
as standard, 3.8 optional.  Believe it or not, the first couple of years they
had an optional 2.3l four available; talk about slooww...

BTW, you seem to have good luck with your combo, better than mine in fact.
Maybe those motors have a knock sensor on them...  Mine, sadly, didn't.
