I had just finished my reply and the computer rebooted (all by itself!) before I could hit 'Submit.' I LOVE Microsoft... don't you?

Anyway... what we're looking at here, then, is what we think will be a torque-crazy, 600 HP racing machine that isn't suitable for everyday driving duties.

In that case, with the emphasis on torque, what would you do if you had the following to start off with:

1 2001 Ford Taurus engine
1 CSVT engines
1 CSVT MTX75
1 99 Contour SE MTX75
1 98 Contour SE CD4E
1 Complete 2000 Mercury Mystique
Lots of other CSVT parts
$8000 to work with

I'm only looking to get enough HP/TQ to get me a 5.? second or less 0-60 and a 13.? second 1/4. Seems reasonable.
