Up for sale is my 98 ford Contour SVT

155,000 miles on the chassis
the 2.5 engine block was removed and replaced with a 3.0 from an 01 ford taurus
unfortunately the junk yard 3.0 was bad to begin with.. started with a rod knock, and eventually seized the engine.

the original svt cams were used in the 3.0 heads, but not before being machined
ported and polished

the transmission was disassembled, evaluate, and reassembled, after a few worn synchros were replaced.
then refilled with royal purple trans fluid.

while i had easy access to these components, i replaced with new...
rack and pinion
tie rod ends
ball joints
alternator
starter
steering pump
clutch

as you can see from the pictures this car is not a show car...it could still use some work
but my objective was to replace the engine...which i have done.
i would like to move on to another project.
i would like to get $900 out of it.

if you have any more questions pm me or call or text
