Does anyone know if the block from a 2.0 liter contour non vct is the same as a focus or zx2 block?
Pretty sure its non vct and maybe identical to the focus block minus holes and such for mounting.
Should be. It is a Zetec after all. You should try to contact ZX2Fast (mostly on TeamZX2). He used to have a Zetec Contour way back in the day.

its the same block … its actually the exact same motor used in the fuckus
awesome, thanks guys. anyone know what it costs to get a block hot bathed?
Just fill up your tub and do it yourself :lol:
Oh hey that’s a great idea. I can get out the rubber ducky and sing the song “Rubber ducky, you’re the one. Rubber ducky…” ok…I’m retarded. Does sound fun though. It’s like taking a bath with your girlfriend…except she’s an engine block. You’re going to rub her and massage her…Try to fit your crank inside…LOL
EWWW!!! The first part was funny though.

All I can say is “yikes” :shock: …Lol!

I’m thinking about a Contour V6 manuel as a replacement powerplant.
already on my way there mirror
Ah, a V6. Now that sounds interesting.
Wait, are you kidding me? It’s like you guys didn’t get the joke, you know “crank”. LOL. ok i’m retarded i guess
Crank. :shock: Heh, nice one.
Seriously though, if you guys prove it works, let me know.
Marco and I have been contemplating the v6 swap for almost a year and a half.
Way to get on the boat hafway into the ocean. LOL.
Better late than never! Espicaly for this kind of a mod. Can’t wait to see the stunned look of a Civic driver as I lay on the power.
the hell with the civic im hunting for the guy in the 5.slow i just gotta go pick up my motor and put it in … anyone wanna donate to the fund lol ?
The blocks from the Zetec Contour and our Zetec are similar. The lower block (the aluminum part below the block and above the oil pan) is different. I never had Zetec Countor, I did have a Zetec Mystique with VCT. Made it easy to work on.
did you guys know the 95-97 contour bolcks are the stongest over cougar, focus, ans zx2
i knew that but the early earlt build date ZX2’s had the same block. AS in early i mean 6/97 and 7/97 . I found this out just recently now that im swaping my HIGH performance parts back to OEM for the S/C build up.
