So as many of you know I've been planning my 3 liter swap for more then a few months. After stockpiling tons of parts I finally bit the bullet and bought an 02 Sable engine with 20k on it. Today my dreams were realized when I dropped in on Aircougar/Greg to pick up my car. After a week of impatiently waiting I finally got behind the wheel of my 3liter'd Tour. It was such a thing of joy as I drove down 91 earlier this afternoon. I haven't had a chance to really get into it due to the rain and traffic, but I can tell the power is there. The car is ridiculously loud despite Greg's best efforts to subdue the savage growl. The car is awesome and I couldn't be happier.
This was Greg's first attempt at doing a 3 liter with ported-matched 3 liter heads to match the SVT upper and lower intake, and it came out beautifully. The car is cleaner then I remember giving it to him. Everything that I asked for was nearly flawlessly executed in an astonishing time period. I definitely have to give Greg tons of props for pulling off the swap so well. I would recommend Greg for al your Contique/Cougar installs. He's highly skilled and even more knowledgable of our platform then anyone I know.
This is the list of things that were installed:
02 sable 3.0 liter Duratec
new/used tranny with Torsen LSD and upgraded shift forks
Spec Stage 1 clutch
Pole 120 Filled roll resistors
DMD
upgraded oil pan with revised pickup and baffles
MSDS headers
New NAPA axles
and of course my SVT intake manifolds/cams
I can't wait for it to dry up so I can really rip on it. I'm going to get a baseline run on the dyno in the next few weeks to see what kind of numbers I'm putting down. I have a few things I need to address soon before I do a complete tune but I'll keep you guys updated.
