I suggest doing SVT cams and upper and lower intake manifolds to make the car easier to put back together, you wont get as much power then using 05 3L cams, and the 05 upper and lower intake manifolds
Dad has the knowledge to do a motor swap. but he does not want to do the machine work to make it a port-matched 3L. which is kind of where we are heading.
Thanks for all the discusion guys! Dad has been looking around online at work..LOL. so, i'm guessing we're keeping the car! sorry bagged and blu_fuz. But he somehow found www.3lduratec.com and its really leaning towards that, the only thing killing him is the price. So, i am going to talk to him a little more and maybe he can lean to another source that i have gotten in touch with and use them instead.
Did you try taking the belt off like I said earlier in the thread?
Try that before you do anything else!!
yes.
we pulled it apart like you said and started it, the sound was still there....
i had a better chance of listening to it now. The car will idle but it sounds out of syncro or out of balance... It almost sounded like an uneven rock tumbling in a plactic container...(if you can imagine that). So, the car is still done for, but i AM getting a port-matched 3L. Its just a matter of when and from who.(and this person kind of knows )

Just stay away from using the SVT heads. Go ported 3L with SVT cams, depending on $ of course.
I would only do a hybrid if I were to have the machine shop put the 3L valves in the 2.5 heads
220/200 on my Hybrid
end of thread just do a hybrid.
