What happened to the 98 v6?
How handy are you?
What is your end goal? Get more out of a v6, or just drive it the way it is.
Auto or manual? I forget if there's a difference with auto.
My dad wrote this on another forum, basically covers everything pretty good;
The biggest problem is the fuel rail as the single port/94-98 was a return type, and the 99-04 was a returnLESS type, with each having different injector locations (not interchangable).
You need to stay with the return style. I think one from a 97-98 windstar will work, but I have been told there may be some interference with the upper manifold. This may be corrected with a manifold spacer(which also give a bit more power).
Use the injectors from the 95 (In your case 98) engine, and any sensors.
I think that the coil pack needs to be relocated, but that is just bolting it somewhere else.
Use the 95 (98) motor mounts to fit your K member.
You will want to use the header/manifolds of the 95 (98) motor as they flow better, but you will have to modify the egr tube some.
This engine change is a good upgrade as it is good for about 60HP.
I would get the harness from the new edge, you will likely need some of it.
Basically try to use as much 98 stuff as you can. You may need some of the plugs from the new edge.
If you don't want to modify the egr, just delete it if you can.
It all depends on you, but I'm not sure if I would do the swap if I was going to keep it as is. If you're going to do further modification, then yes you need the split port. I would just go to the trouble of the 4.2 swap at that point, which I did.
