Ok, I'm having problems getting this to format correctly, so I'll explain it. This first pair of numbers is for the 3L and the second pair of #'s is for the 2.5L In each pair, the first number is the metric spec (most are mm) and the 2nd #, the one in ( ) is english, most are inches.
If anyone needs a better layout of the #'s, email me. (I threw a few other measurements in for fun
)
Data is based on the 1999 SVT Contour 2.5L and the 2001 Taurus 3L
