By the way the engine was always well service. 99 contour se sport mods: scautosports intake, custom exaust(2.5" pipe slipt into 2.25 into two mufflers) H&R springs B&M short shihter bsa rims 17" too much audio to list

Definitely time to refresh or go with a 3L. Rick Owner of 00 #1611 Silver (Totalled) 98.5 T-Red SVT #6180 Buckshot77@msn.com Misc 3L parts for sale

Close to your price range. Heck folks have done a 3L swap for under 1k before... Even if you go hardcore NA 3L you'd be hard pressed spending more than 4k IMO. (Parts & machine work) Well if you did your homework anyway... I can easily see you wasting tons of money when you look at place like SHOShop selling a 3L shortblock for 2k 250FWHP is definitely attainable. My choice would be the SVT cams with adjustable gears. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
