A few more questions.
1. What size bolts are used to mount the block to the engine stand? 10mm x 1.5?
2. Since I have a 98 Non-SVT, what is the best option? I was thinking because of the non-svt parts, the entire longblock from a 2001+ sans the oil pan, pickup tube and front timing cover.
3. How important/what mileage of a 3L would I consider not using new rings, bearings, and seals? I was hoping not to tear down the engine.
4. How much of the crankshaft bushing will have to be trimmed off? Are we talking 1mm, 1cm, 1in, 2in? 3/8"? Cut the bushing off flat at the crank with a hacksaw?
5. Link to a list of all the TTY bolts?
6. What modification is needed on the secondary linkage if I choose to use the 3L heads?
7. Which year of 3L had valve reliefs in the pistons? 2001+?
8. What fabrication is needed with a complete 3L long block? IE EGR,IAC, fuel rail,vacuum lines etc.
Thanks.
