So the 2.5 decided to die. So, i decided to try a 3L. I'm not sure what happened to the 2.5, but it doesn't start. Doesn't turn over. In my opinion, just an excuse to get a 3L. I ordered one from LQK, it arrived today. So here we go! I'm going with a port matched set up with SVT cams. So here goes.
01 Duratec. 77k miles. 210 bucks from LKQ.
First comes first, Let get rid of those pesky plastic intake, LIM, Fuel rail, and valve covers (They are the easily painted plastic ones. W00T).
Only on a ford would protect you from yourself when you are taking off your valve covers, of course im talking about these down syndrome rubber stoppers that don't allow the bolts to fall out of the cover.
What motor swap would be complete without the retarded friend helping you who also just happens to own a ford. haha
Since I don't have a flywheel, my friend decided to shove a socket extension between the water pump pulley on the end of the cam and the plug well. It ended up working though, with no damage to the cam surprisingly.
And the kick...
Knocked it loose without a problem. But we hit a snag, without a flywheel to brace the engine, we can't knock the balancer loose, so we are SOL for tonight. Anyone care to donate a flywheel to the cause? Once i get the harmonic balancer off, it will be time to swap the timing components.
