alright, well I've been searching and most 3l info pertains to either doing a hybrid or swapping in a complete tumble/oval port 3l.
the info I have found on a long block under my VLIM parts has to do with stuffing them on a central injector oval port head, which I refuse to do, because in my opinion, it's just dumb (no offence, to each their own)
so really all I've figured out is that I can splice egr piping with a 5/8's compression coupler from lowes, and that I'll need to use my 2.5l oil pan.
I know the split port 3l only existed till 99 or '00.
so I know I'm looking for a 97-98 or earlier maybe?
I'm planning on using my SE intake manifolds, IMRC, throttle body, fuel rails, and injectors for now.
later I'll get higher lb/hr injectors, and SVT intake manifolds.
I guess my first question is, what is the complete year range of taurus's with the split port long block?
my next questions pertain to what other issues will turn up in the install?
I've read something about needing cougar engine mounts?
any way, I've spent three days searching and reading threads with little luck, if the info is out there, please link me, if not, feel free to give me a in depth description.
I also have a 98 ford CD, if you need to point me to sections of that for reference.
sorry if I'm a newb, no flaming please
thanks in advance

oh yeah, I'm also aware that this swap is definitely not the best for performance, but right now I need an engine, and if i get a 3l in there I can do peripheral mods over time to get more out of it.... I'm poor
