I got the November/December issue of SVT ENTHUSIAST today, and there's a column by the guy who's replacing the famed John Coletti as chief of engineering at SVT.
He says a lot of things, but one thing in particular, and his picture, really caught my interest.
His last job was working with Land Rover on the Defender replacement, which means he was living in England.
"Though I drove everything from Range Rovers to Jag XJs, one of my favorite "fun-to-drive" rides was the Ford Mondeo (SVT Contour, anyone?)." His words.
His picture is even better, I think. It shows him leaning on a Duratec on an engine stand. It doesn't have the plastic IMRC cover, but it does have the SVT plate on the front of the UIM, and the UIM looks like it's powdercoated, not black, but silver. Looks real good.
I haven't seen that engine before. Has anyone else? Are they going to shove it in a focus or something? I'd love to get my UIM powdercoated silver like that.
Peace.
