If you want a beefy ATX, get one from http://www.lentechautomatics.com/ There's a Focus pushing 500+ whp on one of those. 98 Contour GL/03 ZX3 Focus/05 ZX3 SES Focus

Originally posted by microtonal: I know with the FS Vortech SC, you need to relocate the coolant resevoir and move some other parts around to make it fit. As you can see, it's a very tight fit to get the SC to fit on the belted side of the engine. The main problem of putting the Vortech SC on a Contour is the passenger side motor mount. We have a big-ass cast iron bracket that goes around the side/front/back of the engine. The Foci use a small bracket that come out the middle of the timing belt cover. If you could somehow get the Focus motor mount into a Contour, then I'm sure you could use any of the Focus kits.

Besides transmission longevity I don't understand that there would be a mounting issue. What specifically would prevent it from being used? Details?

The Vortech may fit the MTX Contour.....don't know for sure. If I had a MTX I would rather go with turbo anyway.

Of course an ATX is totally different but you also have a contour and the supercharger was made for a focus which is also totally different. There must be a more detailed reason why. I am not doubting you but the reasoning so far is vauge. What would the fitment issues have been?
