It would be alot cheaper then what your talking about. Also get a DMD. 3 SVT engines...sheesh. Lee Cox No Contours to speak of...

Like you said we got all winter, you got the space and I know I sure have the time. Hard or not it will be a fun project.

Different subframes, transmissions, axles, etc... You would need an entire donor Zetec MTX to do the swap. Make sure the year is 96 or 97 too. Henceforth why trying to do such a swap would not be remotely cost effective. However it is your time, car & money. Just understand what you are getting into and what you will end up needing to swap over. This isn't just a "simple" engine & tranny swap. Also how do you explain blowing 4 Duratecs? That is a little more than just bad luck... My car is a pretty highly stressed NA Duratec and I drive the living hell out of it and to date (knock on wood) it is running better than the day I received it. I contribute that to aggressive maintenance and subsequent knowledge. ...just where I am coming from... 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
