So I am driving up 131 and my car just throws a rod like it is something to do. So my 3L swap is going to have to skip the rebuilding part and go right back to re-assembly and installation.
So I really need some quick answers that I would normally research but I have class all day and dont have time to poor over the forums.
1. Do I need a Cougar motor mount or something or will all my 2.5 mounts just bolt on?
2. I have a complete 2.5L engine installed in the car right now and a 3L block, heads, and oil pan up here with me. Do I need anything else from the 3L, like that giant metal plate that was bolted on the side or anything like that?
3. Will My 2.5L accessories (alt, Water Pump, Power Steering Pump) just bolt up to my 3L block with the 2.5L timing cover on it?
If I am missing any key details on doing the swap, I would really appreciate the advice. I have kind of gotten rushed into this so I am nervous about doing this...I am taking a trip over to Ford possibly tomorrow and ordering all new gaskets and bearings just so I can get them in by the weekend. So yeah, any help is MUCH appreciated.
