My projects

Recommended Posts

Someone on the forums ( ;) ) wanted me to post some pics of my work, so here we go:

Long story short - due to dealership negligence, my engine went and I decided to do an engine swap.

My friend and I pulled my engine:

Also pulled my long tube headers off and had them Jet Hot coated.

Here is a list of what my friend and I did/are doing:

- 3.0 engine swap

- ported and polished heads

- Extrude Hone the upper intake manifold (max pass)

- Torsen Limited Slip Diffrentials

- upgraded synchros

- upgraded shift forks

- upgraded shift tower

- SPEC clutch

- SPEC flywheel

- long tube headers Jet Hot coated

- custom oil separator

- battery reocation (Optima) w/ 0 gauge

- lightweight power steering and alternator pullies

- upgraded water pump

- upgrade engine wiring to 2 or 0 gauge

My current list of mods is about a mile long, so I wont bother unless someone really wants me to post it. :P

Will work out the kinks and eventually put in an air fuel management system (Apexi or Tweecer), a custom burned chip, true dual exhaust and dyno tune it all. Will be running in the 13s.

I also bought a 98 CSVT w/ 132k miles with a thrown rod for $800 to part out for a profit. I broke down the entire engine, interior and most of the brakes and suspension and sold almsot everything.

Here are some pics of what I've did:

Any car-related questions, feel free to ask. I've done a majority of the work on my own car and worked on countless cars for my friends doing regular maintenance as well as performance and aesthetic modifications for them. If I don't know the answer, I know many mechanics, gearheads, autocrossers, track guys, etc. that will probably know.

Looks good so far :) Always enjoyable to see a car ripped to it's bones.

Can't wait to see it when it's done.

Sweet! Now go for a hair dryer. Have you seen any of the Foci with the 4.6 and 5.0 and RWD conversions?? That would be sick on the Contour. I love those little things. :wub:
