I have a simple question, and i dont know if anyone has said this, but how much horsepower and torque are u gonna be pulling out of this, project? Because im in the process of doing the same, but havent started yet. But i read an article of some guy with a 319hp and 270 ft-lbs. on a cougar, and bored out the 3 liter to .200, which its making it a 3.2 liter. So intresting of doing the 3.2l and having ethier a supercharger or turbo kit.... I think that would be bad ass!!!!! heres the link to the guys article on import racer http://estore.teamprototype.com/ibrowze2.php?path=public/importracer_12_03_cougar

98 svt contour, magnaflows, sho shop intake, sho shop high flow cat, no pre cats, custom cougars short shifter, 3 liter hybird engine woo hoo im happy, and just added a dmd underdrive pulley.
