I will not be able to afford a new engine and I am not putting a 3.0 in to this POS. Ford is tearing down the engine just for them to find the problem and that cost me over $300. They still have not found it... So I will be parting out the car please check classifieds or IM me with what you want and i'll give you a price. It is a very bad time for me right now.  -Antonio

WOW sorry to hear about it bro, I guess it was all downhill from SZ. Well since you have one of the sweetest cars on CEG with the sweetest parts i'm sure you won't have any problem selling them since it was never beaten on. Good luck with whatever may follow. I wish the best of luck for you

Simply devastating...I was hoping it would not be a dead/dying motor. You have my deepest sympathies man.

Blowing a motor is just one of the "fun" parts of owning a Contour... :rolleyes: Been there, fixed that, payed to much.
Sorry to hear about it Antonio. So after you sell your aftermarket stuff what are you going to do w/the car? Sell it w/a blown motor?

Sorry to hear that, you know how many times people saw pics of your cars and nearly lost it in their pants.
Any ideas on what you are going to replace it with? I would imagine something other than a ford (I don't blame you).
I hope you at least hang around here for awhile.

A dead motor ... that really sucks  !! Sorry to hear it , Antonio . One of the sweetest-looking cars on the CEG just became one of the sweetest-looking PROJECT cars on the CEG ! I hope it all works out for you ...

Sell the mods to buy a "new" engine, then get rid of the car. The car will probably be worth more with a running engine. I know you've been unhappy with the results of your efforts to unload the 'Tour and this must really hit hard right now. However, many have said the mods are worth more off the car and probably only reduce the value of the car. Just a little unsoliticed advice  I wish you well brother. TB
