If anyone has a link to the extremely thurough 3L hybrid How-To, I would appreciate it.



1. Buy low mileage 3L
2. Remove 2.5L heads from existing 3L
3. Remove heads from new 3L
4. Compare the 2 blocks, and fill the same passages on the new block, that the old block had filled.
5. Cut off the same tabs on the new block, that the old block had cut off.
6. Cut crankshaft bearing
7. Install 2.5L heads onto new 3L
8. Install back into car in reverse order of it coming out.

Voi-la!

Just like Todd stated, once you fill the needed passages, cut off an ear on the alt tab, the damn thing goes back together just like a 2.5L. I followed my Ford CD and it has more than enough details in it.
