Picked up a new ride last week. Finally had some time to take a couple photos. It is a 2k Silver Frost Contour SVT(#1464 out of 2150 built in 2000) with an 05 Sable 3L engine. Car is in excellent shape very clean for its age (almost perfect :smile. The combination of the 3L and 5 speed transmission makes it very fun to drive. And also highway mileage is 30+ MPG.

85k Miles on the Chassis/Body.
Port Matched 3L - 05 Sable <30K when swapped.
Jet Hot coated UIM
Eibach lowering springs
MSDS Headers and Y-pipe, mil eliminators
Bassani stainless steel cat-back
OMP front and rawburt rear strut bars
17" Mille Miglia Wheels with Fuzion ZRi tires.
Boston Acoustic 6x8s in all four doors. Wired for a sub, but no sub or amp.
Stainless brake lines all around.

I must say, the thing is clean and has a rather clean motor swap.

Thanks. The car is really in excellent shape. And the engine compartment is immaculate.

It's not as much of a motor swap as you think it is. Well, it is but it isn't. It's kind of like the SHO guys moving from a 3.0 to the 3.2 ATX engine. The 3.0 Duratec was just a different block than the 2.5 the SVT had to begin with. I think it had some headwork, different cams and an extrude honed intake manifold as well but theoretically you could drop the 3.0 in there without anyone ever being able to tell a motor swap was done.

I bet that's a nice bump in power in a tiny car like that.

I have to say this is one car that ford did well. The body kit is awesome on her. And the mods are very tastefully done. Congrats

Oh man. All these months I have been trying to pry that SHO from you :smile: . I think this one maybe a keeper though. It is in such great shape. And is a joy to drive. Ill keep you in mind though.

Hrmm you have a very good point :smile:. I will certainly keep you in mind. Id even like to see how the SVT compares to the SHO on a couple runs.

what kind of number does this puppy put down?

 

[SHOmuff]

Damn thats clean. I was looking for a clean, lower mileage SVTC but everything I saw was junk. Would love to pick one up as a DD. Excellent purchase.

 

[bimmer4life]

Fairly weak-sauce compared to all these race cars on here. I have not have it dyno'd. But ones with similar mods put down around 210HP to the front wheels. It still is only a Ford V6 out of a escape :smile:. But it has enough pep for my daily driver.

Thanks. I always see your SHO at AutoZone. And have many times almost made you offer. But really wanted a 5 speed.

 

[SHOmuff]

Never seen your Fox around town. Wish mine was a 5 speed as well lol
