I worked at a ford dealership for a few years and always had to work on zetecs. The top end is the easiest part of the car to work on in my opinion. Timing belt is supposed to take 8 hours to do but that is because ford always over rates all of their work hours to make money(stupid ford service). With all of my tools I can take the top end off in about 2hours and 15 minutes(I timed it). The only tough part about the zetecs is getting the cams set just right so you don't have a piston smash into a valve when you crank it over. But anyway these cams do look awesome 7-20 horsepower at the flywheel is pretty respectable for just camshafts.
Other mods in the future are changing from a atx to mtx. It's really not as hard as people say it is(if I've done my research correctly.)
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to say my piece.
Also, this is on a 95 Mystique, I have not seen many of these cars modified much but, I am also a body man of sorts so fitting a svt body kit wouldn't be that difficult.
And I like to be different.
Thanks for the info. I am more confident about this project now.
