has anyone ever swapped a zetec engine out for a duratec? What would have to be purchased to make this project happen, and what would these parts cost me if taken from a junkyard...
Not a chance !! I was just thinking instead of spending loads of money on zetec mods I would just buy a more powerful engine...this made sense to me at least
a friend of mine was thinking of doing this exact thing but, and this my just be his budget and ammount of free time, its a fairly extensive project thats not cheap and requires alot of mods accodrding that the FORD mecanic that he spoke to. just my 2 cents
K, I was just asking because although I do not know how expensive a V6+parts+labor swap would cost, but it seems more practical to get one of the 200HP turbo kits, and be faster than a stock Duratec.

One turbocharger. Two intercoolers. All love.
Buy a new car. That would likely be cheaper in the long run. Especialy given the horrible resale of our cars.
