You can use the cams on the 01+ 3.0L heads, however the heads will need to be modified to use hte 2.5L LIM. It all just depends on what 3.0L you get and it's condition.

On a relatively stock swap, I don't think the oval port 3.0L out performs the hybrid. If you could source some decent used 2.5L SVT heads and get'em cleaned up and a decent used 3.0L shortblock would be the best / easiest route IMO.

I'd like to see an oval port on a Mustang Dyno.

Is the Hybrid relatively simple to do- relative to porting and swapping cams etc. Honestly, I would prefer a hybrid set up. easiest IMO. I have the SVT heads already. This route may allow me to get some headers as well which I would like to do at the same time.

E0 SVT Kids, yeah, I have kids. How many do you want?

you can used the MSDS headers either way you go. Cams fit both sets of heads (assuming 01+ 3.0L heads). I think for the average DIY the hybrid is easier, although you still retain the oil issue with thh 2.5L heads.

Quick, if i ever get my turd back down here I plan on taking it to the track more than a few times.
