Eric doesnt have these. Also his brakes, Rims, tires, springs, mid pipe and cat back, shifter were purchased earlier...... add those and the following listed below and their labor and you are way over 14K

What about output shaft and half shafts? Would this combination be safe?

It would safely put a big smile on your face! Might want the Billetflow IRS brace and some of the anti-hop fixes, too. Oh, and some sticky tires.

I think you mean the INPUT shaft, too. Doesn't the input shaft take a shit long before the output shaft? :dunno:

Here is a post from Eric on SVTPERFORMANCE...

and those who are asking how much, how much... I sold my SVT Contour for approx $10,000 and I still have a few grand left over, put it that way Ken does great work at MD, great customer service, great price and takes his time to make sure its perfect. My request was for him to street tune the car and with the SNOW, its pushing it back a day until good weather

Your right about the labor. Cams alone cost $1800 to install in these cars. I think when all said and done your looking at well over 20K for the package!
I just think for the money you could come up with a much better performing car for the money!! IMO
