Be aware that the inlet manifold is plastic.
A number of them have been known to crack, and again not a cheap part to replace.
I sold ours with 60,000k on it and bought an XR5.
Only problem ours had was the power steering pump failed. A $500 part.
Ford paid for half, as it failed at 40,000k and 2 months out of warranty.
There are also two routes for the throttle cable. Seem to remember a fix needing to be applied to the earlier delivered cars. Ours rubbebed on the valve cover. And inrelation to throttle cable, there is a mod to ensure you get full travel from the cable.
