Check the sticky's in the 3L section.

You need a 3.0L "Vin S"

sweet info just finding my way to being up with the fellow 3.0 guys and "Gals" so a "VIN S" from a 01+ thanks ....

no problem. Just search through www.car-parts.com and you should find plenty of engines around. I had a post recently about LQK and how they ship so you should read it to figure out how far out you can get an engine. I would go for a lower mileage engine for around 500.

Hollander Interchange # : 300-9040a

WTF did you read!? Mod the bell housing!? WTF!

Compare this:

To this:

And you can easily see that this must go:

I have images of the actual view showing what needed to be removed from where on the block, but I haven't uploaded them yet. On the 2003 block, you will have to remove an "ear" off the head and one off the block on the "other" side from where these pictures where taken ... it must be done to allow the alternator bracket to fit. A hacksaw + die grinder/angle grinder/sander + 20 minutes = all done

BTW, nothing is done to the bellhousing

thanks bro i can say thats been more help than all the confusing B/S i have read in the stickies .. so i'll hook those "ears" up and my last question is it will drop in and the 03 engine will mount right up to the SVT Tranny and im good to go ?????? send me those pics if you get a chance ..

first car was a pinto lol ..

There is a bushing in the end of the 3.0L crank that needs to be trimmed flush with the end of the crankshaft. You can use a hacksaw.

I heard you are supposed to put in a new rear main seal?
I donâ�?��?�t know if thatâ�?��?�s true or not, I just know about the flush part then your tranny will go back together since the Sable engine will come from an ATX.

You also should consider investing in a new Limited Slip Differential. Torsen or Quaife. You would most likely break your stock LSD if you didnâ�?��?�t swap for one of those new ones.

Maybe someone could explain the new seal question because I donâ�?��?�t know about that.

fastcougar when are you going to get those pictures up? Need a host? Or just havenâ�?��?�t gotten to it yet?

[nazi]why o' why did I spend hours researching how to put together my 3.0L when I could have just asked every question thats already been answered numerous times? [/nazi]

Need a host ... that's a good one

I'm too damn busy with a 3 year old, wife, driveway with 2 cars with no bumpers & engines to be concerned with how quickly I can post up my images. I only post images that partain to my threads ... I am been meaning to take a few hours one weekend and go through my images and post up a detailed breakdown on what to and NOT to do on 3L builds. Between running NECO for the last 7 years and being a CEG member for the past 6 AND doing these engines for my cars AND helping DanG on numerous builds (GTOPete's for example) AND having read all the FAQ's, I think I could probably put together a single "answer all" post on the 3L subject

^ long ass sentence ^

Sorry I didn't mean for it to seem like it was a rush. Just wanted to help out. Goodluck with everything thats going on for you.

thanks about the info .. that new post by todd helped a lot in putting the right parts in but it's putting the words into action i might lack.. i hope anyone with pics will post them along with a description of what there doing ... i was in the U.S. Navy and worked on F-18 Super Hornets hopefully i can get this 2.5 to 3.0 swap right .... thanks again for all the support and help...
