.0L Duratec upgrade
Availability: All V6 vehicles
Approx Cost: Cost of 3L block + labor
Description: The 3.0L Duratec shortblock from a 1999+ Taurus can be used with the rest of the 2.5L engine parts. Obviously, modifications to the intake and exhaust will help greatly here with the increased displacement.
Some modifications to the 3L block are required, or you can purchase an already modified block from the SHO-Shop for $2200.
See David Z's 3L FAQ
or Warmonger's 3L conversion page
or AirKnight's 95 3L FAQ (First 1995 3L Swap).
Feedback: You MUST get a 1999 or greater 3L shortblock. The bell housing on the pre-1999 blocks is different and will not work with the MTX-75 5-speed transmission.
