Great looking Contour, I miss mine. 3 liter swap in the future?

87TA - ready the comments, its a carbed setup... Sounds good.

Can't be good for all the bearing. Still, looks like fun.

Yea, I wonder what the 281 would do without boost...

Wait, a single 3" is too big, but two 2.5" for a total of 5" of exhaust for the same displacement isn't? You contridict yourself. Badly.
A large exhaust in and of itself doesn't cause a power loss anyways, exhaust sizing will shift the powerband up or down in the rpm range. Now, if you go too large, you'll shift exhausts optimum scavenging range well above the rest of the engines breathing capacity, and hence lose power.
But really, thanks for the advice.

Yea, thats all factory, its pretty quick, and it'll out-drive just about anything in the twisties. The most rice-tastic thing is people that scream rice because they lack any actual knowledge about the car...
Now, the GT-R Mustang video... there is a riced out Ford.

I don't think your 40-50 extra hp are gonna make up the difference of a cou ple hunderd pounds between a Goat and a Zo6... but go out and prove me wro ng, that'd be an interesting video. And the G/F that likes cars, doesn't like it enough if she says its "too loud."

Wow.... very quick indeed

Looks pretty fast to me. The 2.5 SVT UIM is supposed to work quite well, p rovided of course the 3liter heads are port matched appropriately. Real s notty, I like.

Tranny didn't sound like it liked that shift very much.

Yea, stalling the converter, definetley and auto. New car like that would have pulled the power off anyways before letting it go into gear.

Looks a lot like a boxer-four to me... and sure sounds like a typical pisto n engine... I smell BS.

Maybe you should consider research and knowledge before comments. The 2.5 liter v6 Duratec in this car is a 4 cam, 24valve motor. 2 intake, 2 exahust. The intake runners are splint, 1 long and 1 short intake runner for each cylinder. The short runners are closed during normal operation, below 4000rpm. This is to build torque at lower rpms, you build better velocity in the intake and more low end torque. As the RPMs increase, so does the air demand, and so the second, short set of intake runners open up. If you paid any attention at all in the first clip, you can really hear it hit at 4000rpm.
BTW, I've got a small block Chevy car, and I know all about secondaries in a 4 barrell, but thanks for trying to impart all that wonderful knowledge...

The car is a wheelhop nightmare... on the dragstrip it's impossible to laun ch like, I'd be pickup pieces of differential out of the tranny pan if I d id. I'm looking into some polyurathene motor mounts, which should cure mo st of that problem. On the street though, I can launch it pretty hard as it is. Not bad for a stock 8 year old car with 140k on it.
