Settle down, guys. Lot's of grassroots hybrids out there.

Volvo heads on a Ford 2.3L Turbo.

BMW 320 brake calipers on a Porsche 914.

BMW Guibo on a Merkur XR4Ti.

Etc.

Who was the first to figure out this stuff? Why would they have even tried? Maybe crack isn't so bad, after all.

Anyway, the question is whether there are any out-of-family junkyard finds that might swap to this car, and the answer is, apparently, nobody's gone there yet. (Maybe the Contour is just not old enough.)
