okay this is just an idea but, does anyone know what the best ebgine is for a zetec? I got the burton power mag and I noticed that the cosworth engine looked like a good idea  , but does it fit? what all would I have to do? and is it even worth it, or should I just get mine re-built? thanks in advance  johnny

Good question. I don't have the answer on whether it would fit or not, but I'm sure it would (but you'd probably need some pretty $$$ accessories). You should contact Burton and see.
Or, you could simply do a tear-down and rebuild. Maybe overbore it (if possible), have some balancing done, throw in some nice, hi-po parts, etc. Then, contact Demon Dynamics and t/c it. Don't forget you're going to need some serious transaxle work to handle anything major. That's even more $$$.
You're thinking along the same lines as myself, but unfortunately I have to wait until I get a 3rd car so mine can be parked for a few months.

Anyone tried putting the 170 HP SVT Zetec into a Contour?

do you have any idea for a fully cosworth preped Zetec crated up and shipped to the US costs???? more that you would of payed for your tour.there is a guy that lives by my parents that has a cosworth 1.9L for the old Escort and I talked to him about it one day and he payed are you ready...... $10,000 for the motor, shipping and import tax. is it worth it???? yes and no..... he runs 9's in the quarter but it's still an early 90's escort.

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

You would spend less money just modding the engine under the hood of your Tour.

thanks for all the ideas, it sounds like the best idea is to do a rebuild. so I guess I will try that and see how it goes.
thanks again for all your help.

can anyone get me a link to the demon dynamics, burton power or cosworth website. i might be getting a shitload of money and nothing to blow it on so i figure that this might be something to try.
