rkneeshaw's 1996 Ford Contour

 

This is my 1996 Ford Contour SE. Few cars have made me as excited about driving as this Contour has. She makes for a great drive; whether that be to work and back or for a fun run down the twistiest roads.

do you know if the upper intake manifold on a svt will bolt onto the Taurus Duratec 3.0 with no problem?
