I need low com pistion ( for about 15 psi of boost)and good rods. I want everything ported and polished. UIM LIM. TB , and the Heads, good values would be nice too.
ASlo a good set of cams for the car. HOw can build this monster for me?speed costs money.....and it sounds like you want to go really fast, so it's really going to cost you. custom pistons will set you back above 750, rods probably more....not including labor to put it all together. why not try to build it yourself? Look up David Z...he's building another 3.0 for a custom turbo.....
Or, consider this, that's a boatload of money to put into a Contour, when you can go out and get a Mustang Cobra and with bolt-on's, you'll run your dream of 12's, for a much cheaper price! That's what JOEYS and Bob King did, dumped the SVT-C's for Mustangs!
