I want to know if it's possible to get the SVT Contour engine and Console (thing with the speedometer and tachometer) swapped with my Zetec 4-banger. If so about how much would it cost? BigSpear

Cooling system would need to be upgraded to the V6 aswell as the A/C system, radiator, fans, transmission would be a big issue. But then again, if you have the money, anything can be done! But then why don't you sell your 4 banger and buy an SVT? Probably be cheaper. Simon W.

Honestly it would be cheaper and more efective to put in a turbo. :p hunter green 96 mystique mtx, sabb side markers deep tints car bra., K & N filter, hyper white low beams, after market fogs, JVC Kameleon head unit, 600 watt amp with 2 10" kicker subs, soon to come new rims New adition 01/11/2002 The original 95SE in Midnight Red all the toys including traction control Fog light mod, lightmoonroof switch from a focus, power antena (still wiring it up) post 98 sail panels, new water pump , Bosch quad plaitnum plugs, and a new Cat.
