I have a nifty master plan for my Contour (in about 2 or 3 years). I will put the 3.0 LS S/C engine in there, and find a 6 spd MTX to go along with it. Then I want to transfer that power to some kind of AWD unit that has/can be adapted to the Contour. I think a S/C'ed 3.0L AWD Contour would do well in the meets around the country. I don't know the entire feasibility of the AWD unit, but the 3.0L LS S/C engine and a 6 spd MTX will definitely be my Contour's ultimate destiny. If I could find a way to fit and S/C the 3.4L V8 that was in the '99 Taurus SHO, I'd consider that an option as well. I've already set up a seperate savings account for all this fun stuff. Hopefully in a year I'll have most of the up front money I'll need for the engine/transmission upgrades.
