I've been reading up on the 3.0L conversion and I think it's a really good way to start making serious power with these cars. I've been saving for a 3.0L block, and I've aquired a second car to drive while mine is under the knife. But before I take the plunge, I have a few questions.

1) Will my MSDS headers still fit? Would I have to use the 2.5L heads or does it even matter?

2) I have an automatic. Will it bolt right up to the CD4E tranny? I know the Taurus uses a different automatic transmission. Terry?
