My brother had a 2 door tempo 5-speed. Ran pretty good. He sold it when he moved to Florida. He used to pick up small blocks for his mustang and plop them in the Tempo's trunk...
What are you looking to do with the Tempo?? Turbo it? or just make it not look like a lil old lady car?
I've ploped blocks in the back of my Mystique already. As for the Tempo, its bored .030", cam, 1.7 rockers (.499 lift int./exh.), ported head, header, 9lb flywheel, 5 speed swap, weight reduction, and possibly individual throttle bodies. We'll see how the 2.3 likes the performance mods. It should run low 14's in the 1/4 mile. If the 2.3 doesnt respond well to the mods and ends up blowing, i'm swapping in a 2.0 Zetec/ MTX-75 trans and a full turbo setup.
Blu_fuz, i agree that the SVT kit is the only one that looks good on the car. I like the SE look though too like you said. Can ya'll tell?
