Another option is the ST200 springs. However, sources tell me that they are probably not any stronger than the SVT springs...




The Spring Rate For The 2.5 SVT Valve Springs Are 153 Lbs And The ST220 Valve Springs Which...DO FIT, Are Rated At 163 Lbs. And You Can Get Them At Any Ford Dealership. Should Cost Somewhere In The Range Of 60 Bones To Own Them.
Sorry I Dont Remember The Part Number But You May Find It In The 3L Part Numbers Stickie.

As Far As Saving Some Parts Off The 3L, Id Save All Of The Sensors That You Can...ECT Sensor, Knock Sensor, Et Cetera.

Her Is The Link To The Valve Spring Part Number: Click This And Like It!!!



I almost forgot! Yes save EVERYTHING from both engines untill you are up and running. Then save the sensors for the future. You'll probably never have to buy another sensor again!
