Wasn't it the MSDS headers that improve low-end torque? I could've sworn I'd read an article (on the Summit web site) that stated shorty headers are better for low-end torque... I'll have to check that out again... Secondly, would it or would it not be cheaper to raise the bore/stroke of a 2.5 block rather than buy a (junked) 3.0 and have it swapped in by a shop? .RMk.. Got the MSDS installed on Saturday, will try to get a dyno run with stock airbox and an aftermarket one, if i can get one soon enough. 2000 SVT Contour #1077/2150 MSDS Headers/B&M Shifter/H&R's/ 1995 Contour SE V6 #????/Tons KnuProject, awaiting mass mods

Ford didn't even sell overbore pistons meaning custom pistons... to stroke the 2.5 would require custom rods or pistons plus machine work and disassembly/reassembly... Now, if you want to go all wild on a 3 liter, be my guest!
