Is the 240hp dyno proven?

I'm sure its SRT-4 fast but how does it handle with the extra weight of that Taurus engine? Was anything done to compensate the extra weight up front? I see the battery is still under the hood verses putting it in the trunk to help balance things out. By the way good job with the pics.

They basically weigh the same. The 2.5 and 3.0 Duratecs are the same blocks. However, I do believe the 3L are rated at 210, not 240. Still balls out fun to drive! Good luck with the sale!

The duratec was rated at 200hp. But he has the hot heads and cam from the SVT contour..

HP sounds about right.

Most 3L's dyno in the 190 - 210 range.

So, I would think 240 flywheel is reasonable. Being that his comparison was a flywheel figure of 195 for the stock 2.5L.
