Re: Fordracing.com short block vs. aftermarket internals
why is your engine going downhill at only 131K miles? mine was perfect for all 241K miles before the factory clutch blew up and i pulled the engine and trans.
for 5-6K i would find a low mileage focus engine, swap oil pans and heads, and drop it in. i would then get in line for the turbo kit that i have for sale for $3k. spend a little money on a torsen and the rest for a tune.
in order to go from the zetec to the duratec you will have to replace more than just he engine. you will need the trans, wiring harness, subframe, pcm, radiator hoses, AC lines, etc. its not an easy task. IF you have a v6 donor car that you can pull everything from then it can be done.
