The V6 is an option but, like the Cougar, so many more seem to have been sold with the V6 than the 4-cyl that people are shocked to see a Zetec under the hood sometimes. - Adam Now online: check out HKSCougar.com :: HKSCougar @ CarDomain 2002 Cougar, 2.0L Zetec MTX - Custom Intercooled Garrett T-3 Turbo

For a year I been trying to get the spark cover from them and they kept coming up with funny if not lame excuses about some fire in their warehouse that somehow affected only the Zetec products...

Or are they getting the 2.3L Zetec (Duratecs are V6s, damnit!!! ) Looks like the Escape has now got the same choice of 2.3 and 3.0 duratecs as the Mazda 6. And the duratec name just means that it has an aluminum block, not that it's a 6. So there. Neener.

Right here... http://www.steeda.com/store/focus/catalog/FRzetecHead.htm Or were you going for one of the stage 1.5 or 2 heads? If I had a job, I would have one right now.

Originally posted by ZetecNinja: that one is just zetec specific but not contour specific right... aren't the focus zetec heads different? Through my reasearch the only difference that I've been able to find is the timing belt pullies. The head will have to be modified for the Contour's single pulley instead of the Foci dual pulley setup. Other than that, I can't tell you until I have one sitting in front of me.
