Ok. That's enough arguing from me today. But I do wanna know if a Non-electronic, carb-ed Zetec is possible...



There is a carb kit made by Weber-Alpha for the Zetec.
It uses 4 small carbs and a (very) short runner intake manifold.
(see picture here.)
Problem is, the Contour does not have enough room between the engine and the firewall to run it.

The kit shows up on Ebay every once in awhile for $500 to $700.
Add a stand-alone ECU, dyno tuning, and some custom fabricating (support and mounting brackets) and your ready to go.

And what do you know, here's a cheap stand-alone ECU.
Dyno and custom fabricating cost will vary, although it shoudln't cost more than say an s/c install & tune.
