oxy-morons are fun, dodge ram... honest/smart politician...lilstryped is smart haha i'm just messin with ya.

But yes that austrailian fellow can help you out quite a bit, considering MI is easily one of the highest concentrations of CEG guys someone will help out. but do a 3L, as said better bang for buck. you could just PM him...Stazi.

i shouldnt of even asked
wow nevermind

In a nutshell, the SVT engine has been designed to produce more hp - UIM, LIM, TB, heads, cams, exhaust, etc.

If you were considering swapping engines, the 3.0 is the way to go. Visit the 3L forums.

Aesthetically, SVT front, rear, sides, wheels, etc. (Check Aesthetic forums for parts sources).

It really depends on your budget and what your goals are - aesthtic, hp, suspension, etc.

HTH

SEARCH! SEARCH SEARCH!!!




I had to hahaha

i said nothing about engine and some how everyone says 3L swap

You said: "Besides a 5 speed, what else does an svt have?"

They answered with what else the SVT has. You plan is to make your se an modified SVT

They gave you MODIFIED answers, and tried to save you money in the process.

Sorry they cared.. you are right.. you shouldn't have asked. you should have searched.. then you could know it without getting upset at us for helping you.

I would figure out what your looking for first. I did alot to my se over a 4yr period because it gets expensive.

1st for the svt look I bought from ford the svt front/rear bumper covers, side skirts, all the grilles and brackets cost me well over $1200 before paint.

E1 wheels and tires about $900 new used maybe $250 and up.

so far roughly $2500 for kit, wheels and paint.

for the motor I did svt uim, optimized TB, injen intake, ford racing 9mm wires, jet hot headers, magnaflow hi-flo cat, resinator and dual mufflers with 2.5 piping. full dyno tune on a dynojet dyno and went from 124 hp to 156hp at the wheels after static loss comes out roughly to 190hp. My timing and fuel curves are set up for when I put my zex kit in. I'll use a 75hp shot which willl net me around 265hp with the shot.


I was't looking to make my se an svt but I do love the svt's looks so that's what I went for and modified my se to make it a better se. I believe with a some money and time you can make a real nice se with the svt look. You can get power from your 2.5 and get it close to a svt's w/o a 3ltr swap unless that's what you want. I left the interior alone because again I wanted to make a better se with the svt looks. remeber in the end you will have a better se but your not going to have an svt(if that makes any sense )
If that's not what your looking for then the others are right, just get an svt. hope this helps you get pointed in some direction.
