It was pulled from a '96 Contour and was only used for a whopping 2 hours on a test stand. The MTX75 is brand new. Considering that a junkward Focus Zetec would run me $350 and a rebuilt MTX75 would be about the same, I think I got a pretty good deal. It' looks like I'm going to be hanging onto my Contour for a little while longer. Now my goals have changed a little. I was going to turbo my old Zetec and ATX until something broke. Now I think I'm going to go for a built block and give the turbo 3L guys a run for their money. What do you guys think? BTW, I hope I wasn't bidding against a fellow CEG'er. Now I'm REALLY broke.
