Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches North Central newbie here

That was Jesse the former owner and also the owner of M&M I think. I was in the market for an SVT with the intention of doing a few mods. When I found out he had one already tricked out sitting in a barn, I made him an offer. As I understand it he intended to run it at Elko in some oval drags but he moved on to other projects before he ever ran it. Needless to say it was a lucky find.

When I had Pieper throw the original serp back on he mentioned someone with the same car had a simmilar setup and had just been in. He was convinced that the vortech was a Ford factory option and that it was in fact a turbo. After some debate I convinced him otherwise and figured whomever had this "simmilar problem" had either an entirley different car or setup. It's too bad I didn't come upon CEG earlier it could have saved me a lot of the trouble of finding things out on my own.

I'm fixin the car up a bit over the winter and it should be rollin by summer but I think SZ is out of the question. Is your vortech still functional and if so, was it a warrented repair out of pocket? (assuming that it failed like the rest) I'm thinking about having a new shaft machined for mine rather then pay vortech the 2000+ they want for the repair. Since I didn't put it on myself and I have none of the litterature for the install, I may need your advice if and when I fix it. In the mean time we should meet up I'm in PL every weekend and don't live far from Pieper's.
