[TRicker]

i'd slap a SVT focus motor in there all forged with a nice big turbo setup if i had a zetec

When it comes to major modding, the non-svt motors are more capable of making big power than the SVT motors.

I hope you put down a good bit more than 220whp. Otherwise going into the engine would be a waste of money, it should be able to hold more than that on stock stuff.

seeing as how my engine has 233k miles on it i dont want to push it to hard. plus the eventual plan is to go beyond the 300-400hp mark.

 

[Kremithefrog]

Oh I thought you had done blown that one up. If your plans were just around the 200 mark, I'd throw a newer stock engine back in. With higher goals, yeah the built engine is warranted.

Id sell it and buy a car that can actually put power to the pavement.

Then you don't want any high power Contour. :laugh:

Power + Contour = Wheelspin = nice burnouts, not power to the pavement

whats the HP difference between the 2.5 and the 3.0 swap (if everything was left stock)

while working at a machine shop i realized this was possible and always thought it would be rather unique..... after coming here i realized yet again i have been beaten to an idea LOL

 

[Kremithefrog]

Stock svt is rated at something like 200/170 and a stock 3L is 200/200. But swap the svt cams in,etc. and you usually gain around 20hp.

 

[my77stang]

damn seems like alot of work for just a couple HP

i think i'll stick to performance modding the 06 GT :laugh:

 

[bensenvill]

sure, if you want to do it the easy way.

 

[my77stang]

well yeah LOL.... keep in mind my 06 GT is the SLOW car. my 77 Mustang II will spank it - that car is an absolute beast
