Wrong - for FI the SVT Zetec is the last engine I'd choose. You'd have to dumb it down so much for boost it wouldn't be worth what you'd pay for it.

$4800???   If you really want power, go turbo. You can have a supercharger sooner and get good power, but a turbo has more potential. If you do it your self, plan $3000 dollars for all of your turbo needs(turbo, manifold, intercooler, fuel system, etc.) You may not spend this much, but plan on it. Spend the rest on drivetrain mods. Be sure to save some extra to fix what breaks.  I really want to see somebody with the patience, money and desire to make it work. My $.02(<--Life Savings  )
Contour--It will make a master mechanic out of you!
95 LX MTX Bolt-ons
95 Neon SOHC ATX
77 Dodge Powerwagon-more displacement than my Neon, Contour, and wife's Saturn---combined!
