engine swap possible but need $$$$$$. there is alot of options out there you can get
1. intake / CTA,kkn or wait for DDAVIS true CAI.
2. chip
3. exhaust
4. underdrive pulleys
5. cams
6. wires/coil pack
and the list goes on. im short of time right now but i will post links.

Only if it's a Zetec. I'm not sure about the trim levels before '98, but isn't an LX from '96 a Duratec?
125.2 FWHP - 126.5 FWTQ
SVT exhaust (#4 of 9) - B&M FPR - Custom CAI - bnoon optimized TB #1 & 2 (beat that!!)

nick An SVT motor swap is going to cost you big if your car is 1) an automatic and 96 or older 2) if your car is newer but an automatic. You will need to swap the engine electronic harnesses and ECU, PCM with an SVT's. Not worth it IMO since the 3.0 is more economical.

You may want to look up Simon96SE. He is putting a SVT engine in his 96 SE right now.

You had the option of the V6 or the Zetec.... example, I have the 95 lx zetec, and kathryn has a 95 lx too, but she has the duratec!!!! It all depends on the buyer in 95...

No...Do NOT do underdrive pullys... Yes they save weight...but you loose the vibration damper. You will eventually loose your bottom end.
BTW, Nick, do you have a 6 cyl or 4cyl?
