so i bought a 99 csvt, the second one ive had although my last one was basically stock. the engine seemed to be fine although the power wasnt really all there. i got what i thought was a really good deal on a clean 3l swapped svt ... the car is amazingly clean and has some nice wheels, torsen diff , paint is near perfect... until about 50 mins into my drive home a bottom end noise started getting extremely loud and by the time i could pull over it had shot a piece of the rotating assembly thru the oil pan. after that i got it towed home and started researching..pretty sure the seller knew something was wrong and put new bearings in and sold it to me or put some type of additive that i couldnt see on the dipstick because ive never heard of an engine running fine and then throwing a rod within 30 seconds. from what the seller told me i have a 3 liter escape block with 2.5 heads and intake and 3.0 cams. i just want to get this car back on the road as it stuck now in my driveway leaking oil. im going to pay someone to do the swap because i dont have the facilities to pull a motor right now.
so my question is can i just get another 3.0 liter escape block and just swap it pretty easily or what will have to be done? i tried using the search function quite a bit but found mostly people doing a full 3.0 or port matched setup. what mods will need to be done to another 3.0 block , and if my heads are still in ok shape (crossing my fingers) it should be a fairly direct swap , unless im missing something.
any info or a thread you can link me to with info regarding this would be great. like i said i searched the forum for over 3 hours and could not find anything relating to swapping a already swapped motor with a new bottom end.
thanks in advance and sorry for posting if somehow i missed readily availabe info
