actually yes.......if "that is all there is to it" why on more than once occasion have i been jumped about my idea of putting a focus engine in my car.....all because of vct, everyone kept telling, gonna suck having a vct engine.......these people just shooting their mouths off?
If you put a regular focus ZX3 engine in your contour I don't see what the big deal would be about the swap. The ZX3 is probably the most tunable and tuner responsive reiteration of the Zetec engine yet(they don't have VCT). I don't think that the ECU from your 96 would be able to properly manage it, though as to many variables have probably changed in the sensor voltages and outputs and such. So I would say anyone who is hassling you about a ZX3 swap is just shooting their mouths off.
