these are the upgrades that are easiest to do ( 2.5l dohc duratech)



contour svt is the car you will need to
upgrade it as follows.....
What you will DEFINATELY need:
SVT Upper Intake Manifold - 1S8Z9424AA
SVT Throttle Body - F7RZ9E926AA
SVT Throttle Body Bracket - F8RZ9677AA

================================

Now ask yourself:
"Self, was my car built after May 1999?"
(This can be determined by looking at the info plate on the drivers side door)

If you said NO you will also need:
SVT Lower Intake Manifold - F7RZ9U531AA

If you said YES you just saved about $90

================================

Now ask yourself:
"Self, is my car an ATX with cruise control?"

If you said YES you will also need:
Cruise Control Cable - F5RZ9A820B

If you said NO or don't use cruise you just saved a few $$$

================================

Now ask yourself:
"Self, is my car an MTX?"

If you said YES you will also need:
SVT Throttle Cable - XS8Z9A758CA

If you said NO you just saved a few $$$

================================

Optional but recommended:
SVT Throttle Body Gasket - F5DZ9E936AE
Upper Intake Manifold Gasket SET - F5RZ9H486BA
Lower Intake Manifold Gasket SET - F5RZ9439B
(Only Needed If You Are Buying The Lower Intake As Well)
EGR Gasket - E6AZ9D476B
IACV Gasket - E83Z9F670A

================================

Once all that is collected you can grab the UIM rebuild guide which will show you how to take the upper manifold off and if needed the lower (even if your LIM is SVT spec, what the hell, your already in there so take it off and clean it!)
