what did I get myself into?
Published (2009-11-14 15:47:00)
the simplest is another SPI engine...... the cheaper option is a Zetec. As mentioned, if it's an auto transaxle, Zetec and SPI are the same. if not you'll need another one. I do not know about the Duratec auto transaxle. 00-04 focus sedans LX and SE had the 8v SOHC (SPI) engine in them. Some 00-04 wagons were also equipped with the same engine.

if it is an automatic you could use the same tranny on a zetec. in order to use the zetec you will need the under hood engine harness, the harness from the ecu to under the hood on the passenger side, the ecu, and to have the keys reflashed. the exhausts are different so make sure you have a zetec exhaust. zetec would be the easiest i assume. i have just completed my spi to zetec swap on my girlfriends car and i had everything done in six days...

if im not mistaken the head is where you make your power on the svt and the header of course. there are ways to run the svt intake on a non svt motor. the problem is the wiring is different. the svt uses a different engine harness because of the vct and dual stage intake. i would think that using the stock zetec head and intake wouldnt require and modifications to the wiring. but at the same time...

I'd like to go a Duratec 2.3 with a T3/T4 mated to a T5 turning the rear wheels with a 8.8" diff. Pretty pointless swap but it seems like it'd be fun. Edit: in a base white hatchback... My SVT is staying stock for as long as I own it. :)
