No The 5.0 swao is something that is being done overtime as money permits. I dont plan on starting it now and having it done this year NO WAY! I am frustrated about the fact that again I have two cars that do not run and both needs motors, and no money to do it. It just seems to me like I get a car to solve one problem even more develope and that is just repairing to stock so I can have a daily driver. I guess I am frustrated and messed up with bad luck right now. Who knows....maybe all will be good in a few days and I get it all under control. Maybe I need a beer for a change lol.

In your 5.0L swap thread, you said you were in the middle of tearing the car down. So is it being torn down, or is it a daily driver? If you have 2 Contours, just fix one of them!  Mark

Yes I know, BUT I really hate to junk one that is not all that bad just to get one going you know. I like my Contour better than the Mystique but they each have there advantages over each other which does make it hard to choose. Merc has alot more options, BUT the Contour has lower miles and lots of new parts, What the h*ll am I thinking?? I will take the options from the Merc and install them onto the Contour, Make the Contour better since I have more parts into The Contour, that would be a wiser choice. Sorry guys I am just frustrated, stressed and getting ready to go through a divorce. I am all messed up right now.

LOL! He's getting there, but he hasn't spent $9000 on a waterpump and other regular maintenance items yet.
