You're right Roger. Since he's not playing with a '98 or newer Contour, he's not allowed the SVT parts. The SVT parts will fit a '98+ regular Contour under those rules, because those parts were available on a Contour as part of the SVT option package. Rules are ment to be pushed as hard as you can. If you don't break a few, you're not trying hard enough...

C.Equipment and/or specifications may be exchanged between different years and models of a vehicle if
(a) the item is standard on the year/model from which it was taken,
(b) the years/models are listed on the same line of Appendix A (Street Prepared Classes).
The updated/backdated part or the part to which it is to be attached may not be altered, modified, machined or otherwise changed to facilitate
the updating/backdating allowance. The updating and/or backdating of engines, transmissions or transaxles must be done as a unit; component
parts of these units may not be interchanged. Cars not listed in the Street Prepared sections of Appendix A may not be updated/backdated until
approved by the SEB and published in SportsCar magazine.
Appendix A Note that the SVT is basically by itself, there. No Contours from different years, and no 98+ GL's or SE's. Now, time was when the SVT wasn't even listed, so things may improve in this area. It just means we have to petition "the board" until we get some action.
Brad, there's pushing, and there's breaking, and there's a difference.
I say again, this is a gentlemen's (and ladies') game, here. Not NASCAR.
