Yea, I think we are just looking for a back to stock thing. Not a lot of money to be thrown around. I would really like to stay in Contours for my next vehicle and this could be it.

Just giving you guys this heads up for a $550 SVT I saw while browsing craigslist. No idea on the condition of the body, blown motor. Good for a 3 liter swap or a part out.
Figure it was worth mentioning for any of you who are looking for a project.
special lol at the 2.6 DOHC. Must have been an ultra rare option
I'm looking for something like this to put my excellent running 2.5L in, but I'm staying away from 98's. I don't want to deal with the wiring issues that come with them
As mentioned above, I'm keeping it for something good.
More then you want to spend with all the powder coating and new parts on it. Probably looking at $800-1000. Responded to your PM though.

i'm having trouble getting 1200 for my dyno proven 3L, ready to drop in. probably a good idea to keep it.
darkblue, your gonna pay about 500$ for that shell, 500$ for a 3L, and something like 150$ in fluids and the minimum amount of gaskets you'll need. plus if you gotta pay someone to install it, that adds up. either way your not gonna get into a running SVT for under 1500$. if you want me to look at that SVT with you i will. you could always get another 2.5L from a regular v6 and swap the cams and intakes onto the new engine and that'd be the same as an svt engine. pm me if you need somene to do the swap, i have little work lately and would have the time to do it, for a good price.

Oh well. Hopefully an SVT in full working condition will be for sale in the spring when I'm buying a new vehicle.

I haven't really been looking since I'm not to the point where I am going to pull my motor. I still need to test fit some turbo piping and get Joey the marked up pipes so he can modify it to work with the recirc valve I spec'd.
