Also... Would it be possible to drop the SVT engine into the 96 Contour GL? If so, what other modifcations would have to be done for the SVT engine to operate correctly in the the 96 GL? 96 Contour GL I4 Nothing Done except for audio Sony Head unit--replacing in the near future 2 12" MTX 6000's Optimus 400w amp--good ol' radio shack 5x7 kenwoods rear door--upgrading speakers this summer Strobe lights in the grill adding undercarriage lights soon

Something I forgot to add...the headlights on the SVT's are the same as ALL the Contours made in 98 and after so you could get them off any car. Doesn't have to be an SVT.
