Yep, Coil on plug (COP). I think Warmonger got COP to work with the contour SVT PCM by using an intermediate module of some sort. Anyone know the details on that? I honestly might be interested in running COP. If nothing else, It would keep me from having to swap valve covers!

If you could get COP to work you could run that larger dual plenum intake manifold. Oval port rocks and that really reminds me of my engine swap. All nice n shiney.

Beautifull engine. Price looks more attractive when you see just how much stuff it has in it, TB, new flywheel, etc.
My partner and I made a new coil driver circuit to work the stock coils with the emanage, not the coil on plug.
I did work on some schematic ideas for using the coil on plug with the an intermediate device but it just didn't seem worth it when the stock system works as well as it does with good wires.

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.

It won't be finished until Spring 2007. I am almost done with the most challenging and difficult part of any car projectâ?¦.
Putting aside funds, finding the ideal low mileage car and buying all of the hot rod parts! (How many projects fail for lack of that? )
This has been a slow motion project for sure - but itâ??s well planned out, fully funded, and when I start wrenching, things will happen quickly. It will basically be like disassembling and reassembling a new car. All the mods (except one) are bolt on. Tuning the thing will be a challengeâ?¦for someone else. ADC is one option, but there are some obvious others.
Regrettably I had problems with the building contractor for my new workshop. I had to pull the plug quick to avoid a worst situation later (long story).
The result is Iâ??m going to have to do this in a much smaller area than Iâ??d originally planned (2 car attached garage), without a lift. I really thought about putting up a metal building on my existing concrete pad as a quick solution, but in the long run itâ??s a waste of time and money to go that route.
The first mod will be welded sub-frame connectors so I will have some nice jack points. I need the car driveable for that anyway.
I will take lots of pictures as I go along and I may put together a website. I have always liked seeing how otherâ??s projects are going.

Thanks for the update! Now I know that I won't need to bother you again, until ~April of 2007!  If you, or someone you know are interested in tuning the vehicle, you might consider getting in on the Group Buy I have going, for the Xcal2 + Pro Racer Package! PM me if you're interested. I'm sure Warmonger could set you up with a really good tune, and you could make fine adjustments from there. Just thinking of alternatives to shipping the car to Arizona, where conditions will differ from where you're located. Anyway, can't wait to see this motor in your car come spring time! Mark

Thanks Mark,
I have the Xcalibrator 2 with (I hope) two baseline tunes designed by ADC for my Turbo 3L. I haven't used it yet and wonâ??t be until I get â??Evil Twinâ? assembled.
I will certainly need help adjusting the tunes that ADC sent me. Right now doing that with anyone except ADC seems problematic. For example, if I asked Warmonger to tune this thing, he would have to start from scratch with his own baseline tune, right? Am I correct in believing that only ADC can modify the tunes they sent me?
Since I am assuming anyone who could help me tune this already has the SCT Advantage III software, how would the PRP help me, a guy who absolutely knows better than to try and learn to tune on a custom forced induction engine!? I really am interested in the PRP software but I am not sure what additional capability it provides me. With software, itâ??s probably better to wait to buy until the last minute anyway.
If I do not send the car to Arizona, I will get the analog data cable and wideband O2 sensor for data logging. I have no problem with renting significant dyno time locally (somewhere).

It REALLY is a great deal considering your options two years ago. I started to build my "forged" 3L around two years ago before I had ever heard of AER. Plus, you get the bonus of a cam set spec'd for turbo use. Not to mention, it a fully build long-block. 1 day's worth of work to pull the old and drop this one with very little to nothing needing to be swapped over.

Oval port. The only changes I'm making to the engine as shipped are to remove COP and cap one oil drain fitting. I'm very nearly replacing the entire SVT drivetrain.

you are so right tropic green I am so close to being done. I have it running very close to good. Tom has made my life stress-free with tuning he is an awesome tuner and very knowledgable. I made some test run on low boost nothing over 4000 rpm and I will say it feels good for now.
I installing my wideband AEM this weekend so we can get some good full throttle pulls on street. I hope your numbers turn out good too. But say the least I will maybe be done by this week. Thanks to Tom quick help.
I will say this the motor you have is the way to go because I know for a fact that the money I have in my motor alone is more than you paid. So for people who want to have the beast they should follow your path.
At least you have a company backing you up on warranty. My warranty is break in down start over lol.
Keep your eyes open this will be a great year for us.
