Answering this question is difficult without a year and motor size provided. I have experience with many Cougars from 1987 on - and all but one were completely timed by the computer without a distributor.
The 3.8l engines 1994 and newer all had computer-controlled ignitions with coil packs and a crankshaft position sensor, so it is timed with software and is not modifiable.
The 1999 and newer engines were all computer-controlled.
Many V6 motors before 1994 were mechanically timed with a distributor, but I did own a 1993 with a computer-controlled setup. The distributor-based engines in those years are all timed according to the standard procedure.

What engines will fit in a 1986 mercury topaz?
Only the 2.3L HSC Inline 4 will fit in the 1986 Mercury Topaz. If everything in the engine bay were gutted, perhaps something larger such as a 3.0L V6 from a 1992-1994 model MIGHT fit but it would require a complete running 92-94 Ford Tempo or Mercury Topaz with the V6 engine as a donor car (and, if you could find such a car, it would be more worth your time/money to invest in it v.s. a 1986 model). The automatic transmission from a Taurus WILL NOT WORK in a Tempo/Topaz.

4.3 L V6 engine in your 1990 Cheyenne was there a 305 V8 for that year and if so would you have to change the motor mounts or do any other mods if you install the V8 instead?
You go with a 350 instead.You need the engine with it's computer chip (you can place it into the v6 computer), knock sensor, injectors and TB unit, but since you are getting a complete 350 (and bypassing the 305), you'll have everything you need.Move the v6 mounts up a few inches to the v8 mount holes and bolt back in.Drop engine in place.Done.
