Posted By: carraudio The time has come... - 09/28/05 03:46 AM
Today I took the SE out. I was going to have it sold here really soon. Not now, I spun a bearing. Now it is time to put in a 3.0l only because they are easier to find then a 2.5, plus I want to. I am also looking into getting a set of SVT heads and cams. What do I need to know before I go and buy a 3.0 for my 95 SE.

Thank you for your time.

Only thing you need to know is how to search. Good luck, lots of info to go through.

If I had the time to search I would I get up at 5:30 and work until 8pm and I like to spend time with my wife. I have today off but that is so I can take care of I don't have time to read every post on here.

check the stickies. no one is going to be able to explain how to put a 3L into your car in one post. you need to do research like everyone else does.

I expect that from a newb...

But since you missed the stickies at the top of hte thread here you go.

Or do you want us to swing by and do the work for you so you can enjoy the time with your wife?

You're a dirty, dirty boy.

Why don't you just use the 3L cams and heads? You're already used to driving a car with a similar cam profile(better mid-range torque under the curve than SVT) and you could save yourself a few bucks.

Then how are you going to have the time to build a motor?

Just save us and you the trouble and pay someone. If you don't want to help yourself then don't waste our time. If on the other hand you do some reading and then post a question, we will be happy to help.

Thanks FCO

As for spending time with my wife I can justify spending hours in a shop building a motor not spending hours reading stuff on the net.


Wait this isn't FCO thats why I got a lot of crap and not what I needed. But I did get what I needed on FCO without the crap.

You got crap because you are lazy. There are stickies for a reason. USE THEM.

Sorry couldn't get back and reply. Was with the g/f.

What makes you feel we OWE it to you to repeat all the data that has been discussed and archived over the past several years? There are stickies, all kinds of info EASILY at your fingertips.

What do you want from us man? The info is here, just open your eyes.

Look. I don't have much of a problem with you posting a question that you didn't search for. If I feel like answering it at that moment I will. If I feel bored for reading the question for the umpteenth time then I just read it and move on.
What caught my attention was your response to the people who said all the information was posted in stickys.

You started making excuses with an attitude about having your time wasted instead of just taking the recommendation in stride and going on.
BTW, I go on FCO also and if I read that there I'd post the same response.
Seems you are selfish and want to waste our time instead of your own. Around here we aren't on the welfare thing...we expect everyone to contribute what they can and the includes putting in some of your own effort. Thats what makes this place so successful despite the fact the car has been phased out for years now.
The issue isn't about FCO or CEG but your laziness. Both forums could answer your questions and have people that are more than willing to help.
If they want to then let FCO build your motor I really couldn't care less.
