Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods Possible 5.0 liter Swap/T5 trans

After some talking with some CEG'rs I am going to throw the RWD option out the door for now. Too many issues for the conversion, it will be a task to get the 5.0/T5 combo in there.

But then you have a FWD monster.

And to those who brought up twisting the uni-body frame, I have been contemplating that issue to..Because this powerplant is going to at least be thowing 250 to the wheels. And for a not to much of upgrade around 2000 you can make it throw upwards of 400 down.

I've got to do more research because if I don't do this it's Mazda Protege 5 time.
