They have 2.5L -> 3.0L mods for the Duratec, is there a mod to make more power out of a Zetec that is similar to the Duratec's conversion?  (I did a search and came up empty)

you can bore the Zetec to a 2.2

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

 it would cost you more to swap a different motor into your contour than it would to buy another one.

Duratecs, just like zetecs, if properly cared for are not unreliable.
98.5 SVT
91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater
