My reasoning for everything is thus:
The Zetec and the SPI share a common transmission (ATX). The FRPP valve body is a direct drop-in which allows it to take a lot more power. Failing that, there's always a Lentech. If I'm going to consider a 5-speed, it'll be a new car with a 5-speed. The conversion costs at that point are STUPID. I've checked.
Everything outside of the block is common, and that includes halfshafts, exhaust components (cat-back), and intake (as far as my new intake goes anyways).
All that is needed besides the new ECU or reflash is tubing for the power steering (resevoir is the same), A/C, and vacuum lines.
That's my understanding of it, anyways.
If that's not the case, screw it. I don't have time to piss around with this stuff.
As it stands, the most the SPI will receive at this rate is a UDP if I get bored while waiting for the final outcome of whether this will happen or not. At least the UDP allows for some real gains and improves the gas mileage as well.
