Can you… Yes. Should you… Probably not. Will you… Hell no. There's no impetus for anyone to put a piddlyass little engine in place of a slightly larger piddlyass engine. Nobody would do this… There's no reason to put an engine with LESS power in an already under powered little truck. They are different engines… Requiring different mounts and transmissions and all the stuff that goes along with them.
There are pathways to put a LARGER V-6 and V-8 engines in the truck… But why bother… The expense is HUGE unless you do it for a hobby.
A 2 l would give you enough power but you're going to have a problem the motor mounts are going to have to be modified.
You could if you really wanted to but if your on a budget even if you all ready have a good 2 litre motor I think you will find its still cheaper to replace the original motor with a like motor from a wrecked 2.3 ranger due to everything else being different.
Not easily, even though the displacements are similar, the engines are quite different the Ranger (being RWD/4WD) uses a longitudinally mounted engine and Contour has a transversely mounted engine. It would far easier to get another 2.3L or upgrade to a 3.0L/4.0L if you're going to replace the engine anyway.
- Where can I buy a transmission range sensor for a 1999 Ford Contour? I need a new transmission range sensor for my 1999 Ford Contour 2.0L 4cyl automatic but I can't seem to find them anywhere. I really don't want to take it into the shop and pay over $100 for it when I can buy it and replace it myself. If you could please paste links that have it or stores that have that brand please let me know. It would be such a simple fix if I was actually able to find one.

- Can you install amp and sub into a 2003 Ford Taurus? Well I'm pretty sure you can but I noticed you have to buy the aftermarket raido kit for the car which is like 40$. And it includes the wires for heat and all that but just making sure I will be able to hook a custom head unit up to the wires inside the car?
- My 2000 Ford Ranger 6 Cyl 3.0 L has been overheating. Pretty sure its a radiator problem but odd symptoms? Truck exhaust will puff moderate amount of white smoke (every now n again) on cold startup but will subside after engine warming up.Truck "Was" overheating until i put more coolant in but realised cap was steaming along with coolant reservoir (reservoir was also bubbling). So i bought a new radiator cap. I got a safety cap and after installing I drove a little and engine temp goes to red really fast. What could it be? Thermostat? Water pump? Blown head gasket?
