Don't think I've even heard any Duratec owners swapping in an SVT Duratec engine... :p Technically speaking it should bolt right in place on your Zetec. However the PCM programming and possible wiring harness differences may be a problem. Much more research would be needed on those areas. Probably be a bit of a wait to find one in a junk yard too... 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...

The SVT 4 banger certainly has some advantages over the regular V6, not necessarily power. Mileage, reliability...? I guess we'll see about that part. The aftermarket is definately going to be superior over the duratech. -FD 1995 Contour SE V6 5 spd My life is a lot like cold women and warm beer.
