Holy COW people! The original post by me YEARS ago, was to prove that a V8 could be put into the Contour and it still be FWD. Making a Contour RWD is easy with enough welding rods and grinding disks. FWD V8 Contour is a LOT easier than most people think.

Oh, and the Continental 4.6L is very wrong in size (and tunability) for the Contour. Stick with the Jag 4.0L or the LS/Thunderbird Lima 3.9L V8. Or one of the nice new 4.2L Jags.
