I was looking at the forum and saw many people building their cars with both the 3.0L and 2.5L heads but if they used the 3.0L head they seem to use the 3.0L intake. Is this because the 2.5L intake wont fit on the 3.0L heads. I know the 2.5 liter has a split port and the 3.0 does not but can it be made to fit. Also if newer versions of the 2.5 head which do have the split port were used would it work. I was just trying to find a way to do the swap with out plugging the oil holes. I have a 2000 SVT and I was thinking about doing the 3.0L swap but wasn't sure if I wanted to do a whole swap or mix and match parts. Also will the blocks out of lincoln ls and jaguar s and x types work for the swap. If so is either of these a better swap canidate due to piston strength and why. Did they used forged pistons in either of these higher end cars. I want to do it right if I do it so I was just woundering. If the lincoln or jaguar 3.0L will work and if I were to get one for the 5 speed cars would that have the right size crank for the MTX pilot bushing. Thanks for the help.
