The kit was set up for a zetec... headers, bellhousing adapter, exit hole for the header, mount kit.
The size of the zetec. The other alternative would be the pinto xflow.
The hydro zetec is ok for mods, but the aftermarket is weak in the US for the contour platform.. Crane were not interested in grinding cams for me...No market.
The focus platform on the other hand has a lot more aftermarket interest.

Hector, I'd have to convert to mechanical lifters, valves and pistons. I should have a Kent cam kit on the way from Burtonpower. When I was sourcing a Zetec for this kit, I could not find a ZX3(focus), but I came across several ZX2 (escort).I was advised to stay away from the ZX2 becuse the waterpump is offset on the block. There is very little room towards the nose on a seven. The Contour is the easiest Zetec to fit.

Too bad you could not just fit a turbo setup under there and not have to worry about all this N/A stuff.

That is interesting. The 98+ (like mine) have the Zetec VCT; the same as the one in the ZX2.
