1.) If you're still trying to get this car up and running for as little as possible, then no. Drop the new motor in and deal with upgrades later.
Okay, I think I will stick with the Taurus cams, since I think the low end torque will be fun for tooling around town, which is most of what I'll be doing with this car.
2.) Unless you're doing a straight 3.0 swap, then you don't need to braze the fuel rail or EGR tube. Drop in the 3.0, use the 2.5 UIM/LIM and the rest of the SVT parts.
Well, the current plan is to do the straight 3.0 swap. I think right now I need to decide whether I want to customize the fuel rail and stick with the 3.0 UIM and LIM, or use the SVT UIM and LIM and port match the LIM to the heads. What's the better way to go, in anyone's opinion?
3.) If you do a straight swap, the airbox won't fit. However, the 3.0 stuff will but will need some persuasion to fit in.
So it would probably be a good idea to pick up one of these??
