well i got a 04 taurus 3l with 18'xxx miles on it for 400$ a decent deal. this is how far i got and what i think i need to get all. in one list. it is going in my 98.5 svt
#1 new motor
#2 cut off tabs for alt and crank peice
#3 portmatch heads with bugzuki plates for lim&uim (if i can get some)
#4 not sure if i need the pulse wheel for 2.5 search was fuzzy
#5 2.5 motor mount. grind to fit
#6 timing cover,valve covers
#7 taurus oil pan and pick up?
so far that's all i got down is there anything else i need to get or do? thanks for any info or advice.
crank bushing? is that the extra piece for the flywheel? i will search his thread more and i am using the 3l cams so i need the 3l pulse wheel. turn it to the next slot? i had problems with searching that but i will do more searching.i appreciate all the help#4- Pulse wheel is in there, you just need to pull it off and rotate it to the 2.5 keyway slot. Search harder it will tell you specifically what direction to place it
#6- Covers for contour/coug if you're planning on a Port-matched setup
#8- Breather box for the 2.5 has to go in the engine valley, I believe the 04-05 taurus 3L has a plate blocking where the box should go. The box should fit between the heads but make sure this is done before the mount is installed.
*9- Are you using the 3L cams that came with the motor? If you're using SVT cams, you'll have to resuse your old chain, and crank sprocket
The experts should chime in soon.. Reading other people's swap threads REALLY help. Spend some time searching so that you avoid problems that other people run into. DONT FORGET THAT CRANK BUSHING. in pwntbywombat's build thread (search that?) he bolted the tranny up to the engine without removing that bushing and cracked his tranny bellhousing :blackeye:
i am still going with purple and silver.
what do you mean. i have a 04 taurus 3l i didn't think it would fit, well i am using my 2.5 cover and my 2.5 sensorstiming depends soley on what timing cover you use, not cams.
yes...so pretty much put both motor to tdc and put the 2.5 pulse wheel on same slot it come off? .
yes i am sure nowSo, you have your pulse wheel figured out then?
yea i looked at your thread it was a big help. i have been reading more then i have been working on it. i printed alot of that stuff out so i dont forget. pulling the motor was no problem i made sure to be carefull with my harness. now i take my time with both motors so i don't screw up.I really hope you looked at pics of the pulsewheel, sounds like your rushing this
Edit: page 6 in my build thread talks about the pulse wheel and even has a pic.
