    Default Picked up 3l

    Hey guys. Just thought I'd let you know that LKQ out of Portland delivers to Renton for free. Picked up a 2003 taurus 3l with 27k for $450. I picked up my parents 99 540i6 so now I can take my time with the swap. I can't wait to get back in the svt again. I sat in it yesterday for the first time in over a month and honestly think I prefer driving it over the bmw.

    While you have the engine out is a perfect time to add headers and an aftermarket diff. No, I do not work for the state lottery commission selling tickets. Besides, if I had a tiny winner ticket myself, that would be my 3L going in.

    Thats pretty good man.But i would focus on putting and doing as much stuff as you can while the engine is out. i for one am waiting for the engine to go in my svt before i do anything really to serious to it. I believe that you have to drop the engine from the bottum anyways so its going to be a to do.

    Nope the engine and tranny come out the top very easily. Then you do not have to mess with the sub frame.

    Mike,
    Diffinitely put in a quafe or torsen if you have the cash. You should since you saved soooo much on the engine. Congradulations btw.
