Now the diffeerence between that engine and the SVT contour is the extrude honed intake manifold and 19# injectors? Here's what Im trying to do....HELP!! I own an 01 COugar V6 (this is the BEST duratech forum). Looking to swap on the 98 SVT upper and lower intake manifold and throttle body for better flow, I also want to put on the 19# injectors but the 98 parts that I am buying come with return (non-returnless) fuel injectors and arn't compatable right? Then all I need is mid 99+ SVT injectors and I've got the swap right? Help me out guys, I just sold my 2000 Mustang GT and want to upgrade my cougar.

True, the 98 SVT fuel rail and injectors will not work with your car. Your lower manifold might already be the same size as the lowers on the early SVT's, I'm not sure. You can buy the lower with returnless rail/injectors from BAT. Going to 19lb injectors, however, is not going to buy you anything unless you've done some serious mods to the intake/exhaust. More fuel does not automatically mean more power. You have to have the air flow to go with it. Unless you are exceeding 170 wheel hp, you do not need 19lb injectors. -Lance Lance Kinley CEG Webmaster 95 SE, "Cassandra" 10 years!

Would you recommend the injectors at all with these mods: Headers/Y pipe/Catless exhaust (borla) Aem Intake with HKS air filter Upgraded spark plugs and wires SVT UIM SVT LIM SVT 65MM throttle body 75mm MAF ... Is my fuel system returnless right? Using the LIM on the 98 would be pointless and using the 98 UIM would be less beneficial than say an ST200/SVT from 00 on up? You guys are a killer help THanks.
