So let me introduce myself, i'm an 18 year old from NY who owns a 99 cougar ATX (late model). I have been researching throwing in a 3L for a little while now, which mainly started because of the sparked interest of my Long Island chapter at NECO. There will be 3-4 of us doing the swap within the next 6 months or so.
My goal is to drop it in simple, easy, and cheap. I want to run a fully stock 3L, and possibly eventually throw a small amount of boost on it (5-8 psi).
My setup:
01 Taurus 3L
2.5 timing belts/cover
change the alternator braket.
remove bearing
braze fuel lines
balance crank
weld egr tube
dyno tune and burn chip.
i believe this covers everything, am i missing anything? sorry its been months of on and off research, and this i bleieve pretty much sums things up. thanks in advance, you CEGers seem to know you 3L's pretty well
