Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance 3-liter conversion

I will have pictures of the bare 3 liter block with modifications someday... A "how to" is out of the question for the rest of the assembly because I (and the others who have done it) refuse to rewrite what's in the rebuild manuals. The only parts you HAVE to use with this swap is the 2.5 front timing cover (retains factory FEAD), 3 liter head gaskets (regaurdless of which heads you use), 2.5 flywheel if MTX (crank must be ground down or cut to clear pilot shaft). Everything else is up to the person doing the swap/mods to the car and can be custom or stock 2.5 hardware. Prepping the block is obvious once you have everything disassembled and are test fitting for reassembly. The mechanically inclined should have no problem performing this swap.
