Would the motor out of the 95 be worth workin on? I mean being that it blew the headgasket there are some things to check over first. What is a good site to buy parts like injectors, intake, etc because search results always come up with things for the focus but I didn't know if there would be issues with focus parts working or not.
The headgasket is not that hard to replace if you have the parts, time, and patients (especially since your dad has 22 years of experience.)
The focus parts are questionable to fit properly, depends what the part is, also one member on the forums actually works for Ford and gives discounts to CEGers, name: Bill J. at Team Ford(i think.)
I wouldn't rush the turbo, I'm sure someone has done it to the zetec before but I don't know anyone here that did. You probually won't find a turbo kit for the zetec (contour that is) but you might save money by creating a custom Turbo setup. Ebay is your friend.
