Kermit- I expect better from you!
You've been here long enough to know not to expect anything decent outta me.
But really, these kinda topics happen all the time and they are played out. Yes you can get a lotta power outta a zetec, like someone said, talk to turbo tom. But that's regardless of whether it's in a svt contour, focus, zx2, lotus 7 replica, contour,etc. The topic just has no real point. If you want a powerful zetec, then save the money and then do it. If you want it in a contour, then go for it. If you want it in a svt contour shell, then go for that too. I just didn't see any point to the thread is all.

plain and simple fact, the zetec will last much much longer then the SVT or 3.0 motors. Why not trade your SVT shell for a Zetec shell and some cash. Then put in your bros zetec motor/tranny. That way you won't ruin a SVT and you will have a car that goes plus some cash.

Has anyone considered putting a Zetec(probably turboed) into a Ford GT (with a worn/blown 5.4S/C)?
It woud be lighter, handle better and make more power than the original engine.. Just a thought.

But since the zetec will not bolt up right to the GT's tranny, also put in the slushbox that bolts to the zetec.
