Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications 3.0L Duratec Plan to CRANK 3L this Weekend!!!

Well after 10 long months of waiting it's finally gonna happen! I hope to close the deal this weekend and if there are no hiccups I hope that I can put the key in the ignition and Fire It Up!! I did pretty much all the work from removal to install on my own so it took a bit longer to finish since I'm a very busy person as it is.

I do have a question, hopefully there's an answer. The gas has been sitting in the car for the full length of time it's been down, would it be a good idea to siphone?? the gas out and put in fresh gas? A did buy an additive for the gas that would keep it fresh longer, but stupid me never put it in the gas where it suppose to be.

I think the only drawback to this whole project is the readjustment of the MSDS Headers Plan. With a 3L Hybrid Ported out ect. a set of headers would be the order of the day. Unfortunately due to circumstances and a disapproved wife I had to resort to the old Mystery Mod. I did wrap it w/Thermo Wrap as well as I plan to do to the stock Y-Pipe that I will modify myself. I will be taking Digi Pics and have it posted on the net a short time after and once the car is well broke in it will be tuned on a dyno, FINALLY!!!

Woo Hoo...


Can't wait...

Greg I thought you'd be the very person to answer my question??

Siphining it would be good.

However you should be able to get away with a water remover/stabilizer type fuel product and burning it off quickly.


I'd run a good quality fuel system cleaner in your next fresh tank and then change the fuel filter after it.

Congrats Micah! I'm excited to hear how she runs. BTW, he's using a Buckshot prepped long block.

Rick

Congrats PXR, and good luck!!

YEAH!!! me and micah are in the same ordeal... been 11 months for me im looking to crank her tommorow or saturday i just need to get the serp. belt on and im ready to go. i have been waiting for this moment for a long time too i nkow rick, brad, and alot of other people have gotten many of my calls asking them questions and im glad they were there for me when i needed it. i also wish i could have got some msds but $ is tight being on probation and all right now. so hope fully by sunday youll ahve 2 new confirmed 3Lholics in the 3Lholics anonymous group ready to talk about their exeriences throught the whole deal..!!

I think everyone will not only like the new beast, THANKS RICK BLACKFORD for the wonderfully built LONGBLOCK, or better known here as Buckshot77 (had to put that in there) , but everyone will be salavating at her new look as well (though no one has ever seen her in her previous form ). I've put her in full Stealth Mode, Black SSR GT1 Wheels, Black Bassani Exhaust, Black Inside Headlights, Partially Blacked Rear Tail Lights, Black Tint and soon Tinted Black Side Markers. It will also shortly have a Mirko Splitter as I have found a Donor!

Well I hope that once I get it on the dyno after it has been broken, I will be left with only 's. After reading the thread of 213hp @wheels on another Hybrid built by Rick, I hope I'll fall within reaching distance with tuning, MAYBE MORE??
