His response to me and my response to his response.
Well, you didn't do your homework on this one.
Ford did not have an option for the SVT engine on a non SVT Contour.
The Ford shop manual provides the information that you should have researched. The SVT engine has a different VIN code.
The SVT engine has a different intake manifold, a different throttle body, and most noticable in your photo of the engine, a different air intake with a round Mustang style air filter.
I suggest you fix your mistake. I noticed that you did not give me your community or state so that I can notify your DMV and district attorney. If you are correct, you have nothing to worry about. Since you don't want to face those authorities I can easily assume that you know you are wrong.
By the way, I'm a Ford Service Manager as well as a Contour SVT owner. Just fix it and grow up.
