get one from a mk3 mondeo, the old mk1 and mk2 mondeo 2.5 v6's weren't that good tbh. fairly low power for a very heavy engine, very few aftermarket performance parts available, dodgy water pumps, head gaskets and bottom end.

barge and pole springs to mind!

i've been on the mondeo forums for 8 years and seen literally hundreds of threads about them knacking up.

a top end rebuild done DIY costs over £800 with all the right bits, a guy on our forum done one recently.

"bulletproof" pmsl!
