Has anyone considered putting a Zetec(probably turboed) into a SVT (with a worn/blown 2.5)?  It woud be lighter, handle better and make more power than the original engine..  Just a thought.

I don't know the actual numbers, but I'm pretty sure its not that much lighter(2.5=aluminum, 2.0=iron) and the turboed 3.0's are doing pretty well.

Why would you even want to for starters.  Then secondly it would require a Zetec parts car to source everything from.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

You think it would be worth swapping the 6 speed focus mtx for the contour 5 speed?

I've considered putting a turbo 3.0 in a focus. Does this help?

Maybe a turbo'ed FSVT Zetec w/6-speed, yeah. But a regular Zetec? C'mon.  And why does it have to be an SVT? My SE has a "broken in" 2.5L.

Come On DemonSVT,svt4svt,KingpinSVT!!
You guys aren't conformists, Right??????
"Free Your Mind"
1.Zetec cars are cheap (the FSVT motor w/Turbo is the best choice) But $$$$$$
2.Some SVT's are cheap (usually high mileage,so good engine replacement candidates)
3.Ford fits Ford,right.....(not like dropping in a V8! )
4.I like the Sleeper/Touring look idea...the unexpected!
Don't ruin my dreams!

 Zetec bashers. Reasons to do it: 1. There are a lot more Zetecs out there 2. A lot more aftermarket....CHEAPER! 3. Turbo, superchargers a lot cheaper with a lot more options 4. Sleeper factor
