Yes, apart from they both have 4 cylinders with a cast iron block and a cast aluminium head the similarities end there!

Well, what I can say about that if you guys imported a spi head, you would also need the intake and tb setup, which would then force you to reroute the intake as well as the throttle cable. You could probably use it on a 2.0zetec block. I would say it would be worth it tho. What type of electronic stuff do you guys have on your engine harness for the tb? tps, iac.. etc? How about yoru fuel rail? FPR? 1/2" fuel line in and 3/8" ish fuel line out to the tank?

Man that's some impressive stuff. Thing about it with me and countless other spi owners, we're going to be looking for upgraded internals. They pretty streetable?

He has one, you can see some of the intercooler piping in front of the rad support.
That's it for me tonight. Been a long weekend, talk to you guys tomorrow probably when I'm more sober/awake.
