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.

Compare to what? Same fit as the 2.5L duratec,, though yes it and even a 2L zetec are a tight fit.

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

I had a 2.3 Ranger with 88 horsepower. It would catch a nice 2nd gear at 6,000 rpm though

SHO V8 is crap. Get a Lincoln LS V8. Better engine, and better "bolt-up-ability"

Check out da posto!
