Hey all. I have searched and come up with a lot of the same kind of stuff. Any way I need some answers, opinions
I have a 3L block from 02 escape bored .020 over, already filled for use as hybrid, I have crank and rods, no pistons, svt heads with new valves and 5 angle valve job, also I have the timing components needed for hybrid.
ok, the plan is to run N/A high compression with future nitrous use. what would you recomend for C/R. And what pistons should I use, OE or Aftermarket, what C/R will I get with .020 over OE piston with the svt heads
Next I need recomendations on an intake to use, I can get a metal taurus intake for dirt cheap, is that a split port style or oval port, looks like Stazi's for reference.
Next I know to get the newest oil pan from bill, but there is no windage tray or oil pump pick-up with the block, what should I get
Next what brand head Gaskets should I use
Next Camshaft selection, I have no cams either, sould I use svt cams, 3L cams wouldnt have water pump drive right?
Ok finally this is going in a 95 contour mtx. What will I need for tuning on the OBD1 system, I will need injectors as well, I have a fuel rail, return style I believe. Thanks In advance for all the help and if I missed something searching I am sorry, there is a lot of info I dont know what to use and not use.
How big of a shot do you plan on running and how often? If its 100> I'd go with stock pistons. Nitrous is hard on a motor, but I think Tom's (now Ray's) turbo has proved that the pistons can take a punishment. Plus, alot of its in the tune.
As for the cams, I'd stick with the SVT cams. The juice will make up for what minimal torque is lost down low.
I think the 11-1 compression is reasonable for the go go juice and pump gas.
Todd, are you suggesting he use the metal UIM? I thought most people were going with the plastic? Bsoelman, if it so happens that you need a plastic UIM, I've got one along with the LIM & T/B that I'll let go for CHEAP!! Just let me know man.

HE HAS THE HEADS COVERED. Caps for people that need help.

Don't use the OBD-1...you are going to lose your $$ tuning that bugga
So is he going to replace all the wiring in the car and PCM Pete? WTF? He can get the OBD-1 tuned just fine for about the same price as 2. Less options with 1 but who cares. Also I hope you have a Quaife planned.
An option for camshafts is CAT Cams, just be prepared to pay alot for the cams.
Aaron
And has anyone successfully put them in a car? And if so how many miles on the engine?
From Terry
...I have offerd,many times,to make up the sprockets
and vernier adjustment hubs etc for Cat cam owners and
set them up at the 'stoc' '0' degree position....Guess
they prefer to use them as a paperweight!...don't
forget I have shares in a full CNC m/c shop....
Who said 3L hybrids are not a bright idea besides Demon? Not I. Wouldn't be the way I'd go. I helped build rkneeshaw's hyb. that has been running for quite some time now. When I guy goes through the process of buying SVT heads and getting a 5 angle valve job he's usually made up his mind I would think.
gay lovers are so fun to watch
Would be as much fun if Mark didn't turn into such a [censored] stick.
thanks guys and I just must not search well, sorry tod. anyway I bought it all the way it is for 400. I am just wighting my options, if the price is right I will go with the oval ports and plastic manifold. anyone want to buy a set of svt heads. If I switch to oval ports then how do I go about removing the filled spots in the block, this motor already ran as a hybrid. also if I go that route what will I need to do about pistons, can I stll bump up the compression a bit? thanks again tod for the part numbers and I will be taking the tranny to terry for a quife and other stuff
With the oval port heads you'll need to have the 2 fuel rails brazed together, EGR tubes joined by a compressoin fitting, an SVT TB to swap over the bracket and guts to the 3L TB. You need to search a lot. To bump the CR you're going to need custom pistons. Cha ching. I'd stick with your current route due to cost. The SVT heads will give the bump in CR.
im getting the heads and intake from mark, he also has a fuel rail but it will have to be modified im assuming. I still should try to find svt cams though right, and I have to buy pistons anyway so why not just get custom ones, unless they are stupidly expensive. are taurus heads going to have a provision for the waterpump?
Terry has SVT cams if you need some.
OK sweet. also how about tuning. I read something a while back about a piggyback system for tuning obd1. I dont think it was the tweecer or the emanage.
Ok I'm done. You're not reading or searching anything.
IN THIS POST!

Searching turns up this.
sorry todd, thanks for pointing that out again I get
HEY Pope wasup man. that looks like it could be the way to go. I am checking into how much I will be able to do with an xcal on an obd1 car. at least I know now I have a few options.
