Hi 3L, welcome to the UK Chapter of craziness! The 4WD is taken from the Euro Mondeo, US Contour. Over here in the early MK1 models, we had a 2.0 4x4 Si variant which didn't nake into the later models. Our guys in Bolton have principally used this setup with some custom fabrication for mounts etc. I believe their is a similar layout in the newer Jaguar X Type's however I cannot comment on their compatibility with the Cougar. I maybe PM'ing you with interest in a few bits I saw on NECO
