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.

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

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.
