Chronology of my current situation:
1) Bought a "project" cougar and began saving money and buying parts here & there for a full race build. Not to be street driven very often and intended for like 80% track time.
2) Decided to go "turbo" and began saving for the turbo kit
3) Decided to be "cheap" and started to look for a turbo'd CDW-27.
4) Found the current Contour (a huge mistake on my part financially) and thought that I would transfer the turbo kit to the Cougar and sell the Contour stock. Engine was blown and the turbo it was a total hack job. Follow the thread here:
My "Saga" thread
5) Decided to drop in a refreshed 3.0L + LSD for turbo kit development.
6) Wife and I decided to put our son through private school when the time comes, so this car and the project cougar are being sold. I started with the Cougar since it's already parted out and nothing had begun yet.
I plan on finishing this car and following through on the turbo kit.
While the clutch/engine is being broken it, I will finish the turbo kit and look into getting it duplicated. One small step at a time is all I can handle on this project now as work has me slammed ... matter of fact, I'm typing this from work and will be here for another 2 hours easily. 12-14 hr. days this week
