Found this post while doing a search, just wondering if the engine was ever built and how it went?

I didn't actually buy the car, but assisted in getting the 2 parties together. CTA is also assisting the race team, and I have the task of programming the engine computer. The finances aren't there yet to purchase or build a race motor, but on the same note, more power, means more weight per race. We just need about 20 to 30 more ponies to get the car balanced out. The handling is there, but the race car lacks just a little bit of power.

I see from the other thread you may be at Mosport for the Trans-Am race weekend? If you do go and bring your Contour I wouldn't mind trying to catch up with you, if you are not too busy helping out with the race team. I'll be down from Ottawa for the race and wouldn't mind checking out your car and the mods.
Greg.

I plan to be there for all of Sunday, as prior commitments for Saturday is preventing me from attending the entire weekend.

Chris do you guys get MoTec engine management systems over your way? http://www.motec.com.au/ Check out the link, they are THE system to buy over here. I worked at an EFI joint for a while and was involved with a number of installs.
They are the system used in our Australian V8 touring cars AFAIK, and depending on the model can have everything from traction control/ turbo anti-lag / electronic boost control/ sequential injection etc. When I was working on them they could be configured for just about any type of ignition/temp/airflow/TPS sensor input already fitted to an engine.

That was considered but the cost prevented the purchase. A similar system has been purchased by another manufacturer.

The previously mentioned Kinetics-built 2.5 puts out over 290hp, but it'll run you $20k. Surely that paltry sum is in the budget  FWIW, Robert Mumm is selling the '01 Cougar with spares. In addition to 2 Kinetics 2.5's he's got a Reinke at ~250hp.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

Hmm, spare car, spare motors. Thanks for the info.
