The SVT engine only comes in the SVT version of the vehicle. SVT Contours have added extras like dual exhaust, ground effects, and exterior SVT badges. There's also an SVT badge on the UIM in the engine compartment.

I was under the impression Contout SVT' s were there in 95. As were the 4 cylinder Zetecs and regular V6 Duratec .
I did not know until now.

Just read that sometimes on a hard right turn the oil can be moved away from the pumpp and lock up the engine in these cars. Any truth to this? has anyone else heard of this or experienced this before?

Yes, this is definitely a possibility, though I haven't experienced it myself. Some resolutions are to keep 6 quarts of oil in the engine (and don't let it drop), installing an Accusump oil pump, and baffled oil pans (or any combination of these).
