Oops, it's been so long since I've read anything about the Topaz or any of it's mutations. This still is a good rule of thumb to go by. The 3.0L duratec is a tight fit anyway.

91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater

Try being happy with the 2.0l Zetec with its 125 hp of pavement ripping power then.
