Looks like the only catch is the 2nd tap for the oil return into the pan ... nothing a flared cap won't fix though  Great deal considering all that you get can't be produced cheaper by buying similar parts that are available.

Intake looks like the Escape intake manifold.
As far as the plastic valve covers. The 3L swaped SVT Contour I just sold kept the plastic valve covers so you can use them. You just need to rig up a mount for the coil pack on the back. The 3L bracket works with some spacers added.

I'ts intended for dual T28 turbochargers in the Noble car. This engine would perform relatively poorly naturally aspirated due to it's 8.5 to 1 compression.
In the Noble, these engines generally produce between 350 to a max of about 500 HP at the wheels. I fully expect to see in excess of 400 HP at the wheels with a single T3/T4 turbocharger (ADC kit) in my Contour.
Frankly, that's more power than the contour chassis can handle.

Yeah, he was checking out a section of forest around my house that I recently cleared. He usually has a BIG smile about everything, but I can never get a good picture of him.
