Ford sells its new 2.0 ecoboost motor as a crate with harness, ecu amd other shenaniganry. More hp and torque than the renesis motor, should bolt to the trans and is probably small enough to fit with minimal modifications. Just saying.

Alternately, that motor shares some serious similarities to the mazda 3.0, whose coils are swappable with ford modular v8 coils (2 valve involves surgery on the connector, 4 valve requires making a hold down bracket). They need the spring and boot swapped from the old coils and one of two modifications. Not sure how compatible all this is with the jag version of the motor that had different heads.

The 3.0L was north america only iirc. If they have a version of the fusion/mondeo with the 3.0, maybe then. vOv

See if you can find an underdriven pulley for a mazda 6. Odds are it fits, might be a bit smaller.

Thin metal too. That hood is so light and the fenders are so easy to move the metal on.

If you're looking to have rotor housings refinished, consider contacting goopy performance. The shipping might be cost prohibitive, but they are a really well known name in the rotary community. As for quality, you'd have to ask someone like spyder who may have experience with them. I unfortunately still have yet to own a vehicle with a spinning dorito in it. :(

Ah, forgot to mention, TX :).

Ah, you must be visiting the GM plant there. Go draw dicks on something for me.

That's right up the highway from where I live.
In fact, in my youth, I actually lived about a mile from the plant.

There's a few other goons here and around. STR isn't far away when he's not in Austin.

Heh, my stepfather at the time was plant manager there during them building various series suvs there.
