id like to find a good shape bare bones contour and swap in my spare SHO motor hehe
The SHO engine doesn't fit in the Contour nor does it bolt to the transmission

There are guys building pretty decent all-motor setups using a mix of 3.0L Duratec and 2.5L SVT Duratec parts!

Ah yes 3.0... Music to my ears... Some of the work they put in simply amazes me.. Especially when they turbocharge it....

Still havn't gone searching yet for one that I could drop in... I think I'll just drive this 2.5 to its death.. LOL

yeah they dumbed down the Yamaha motor because it would have competed with their higher price point mustang. Gay.

I still think they should bring the turbo focus over here, so what if it steps on the mustangs toes. Two totally different markets!

Yeah, but then you'll have the Fiero GT vs Corvette thing all over again.
