Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications 3.0L Duratec help

Ok im bout to do a 3.0l swap out of a 01 escape. Ive been looking round in here and alot of people have posted alot of thin gs about the part numbers and what is needed. Will someone just pleaase go over this that has done the swap and add to this or just go over this and show me what exactly is needed bc the m ore i scrolled down i just kept findi;ng more part numbers and just got confused. So if someone would just tell me what i need on the list and add/subtract from it i would greatly appreciate it. THANKS! Also i have bout a complete engine of a 3.0l 01 escape already. I printed off this:

I have found all the Fel-Pro gasket I have used to be better quality then the OEM. I added in a few measurements; I have more.
I am very impressed with the Fel-pro parts. Also most of the gaskets are larger than OEM so they accomodate porting perfectly.

Sorry for the repeats as I just cut and paste.

I'm confused ... where's the question for help?

Hard to answer without more info...Is he doing a straight swap? Is he doing 3L heads? 2.5L Heads? 3L Intakes? 2.5L Intakes? It makes a difference. Not to mention, all that you need is in this forum already, there ar emany threads just like this one. For each swap, there are different things to consider...

I had none of those specialty tools! I also didn't TOUCH the anything besides cams and con rod bearings.

Just Call Bill J. and let him know what you are doing. I called him a couple weeks ago and just told him I was doing a 3.0L swap using my SVT components. He just finished the part numbers before I was done telling him. Very helpful guy.

If you get more of a question it might be easier for someone to answer it. I took that same list you copied and went through using my brain to figure out what new gaskets I would need for the swap I was doing. With a little concentration I am sure you could do the same. If you try it and still are confused then develop a more specific question and I am sure someone would be happy to help.

ok thanks i apreeciate all the attempts at helping i shoulda said more but i didnt know there were so many ways.......i had a guy helping me but he stuck me out to dry and i aint gotta clue so my cars just been sitting for bout 4 months with nothing done........ok

im using the 3.0 bottom and heads with the 2.5 cams etc. and intake i belive from what i can recall him saying. I pretty much want to get it back going now with more power than what i had before as a basic start.......but since i have it all torn now i woulod like to produce as much power but at the same time i dont want a freakin 10 sec.drag car i ust spent 10gs on.....if you get what im saying. Im a bagged minitruckin draggin frame or building air struts for cars ect.....not much of an engine guy. I can do it no problem if i know what to do or saw someone do it first. So thats why i asking for specific and details about it so i can actually do myself.

I dont know where to begin so like im open to many suggestions as to whats the best way if you get what im saying there.

Is this a little more help than the first post?

ONe other thing the only thing that has been done is the 3.0l has been taken apart......heads off and everything above nothing below the heads has been remove except for like the pulleys chain and ect.......The 2.5 intakemanifold been removed fuel inectors and little numerous things but nothing else.....also the 3.0l heads have been cut for the svt gaskets....and thats it....they havent been filled in or anything else done yet bc i dont know what to do next or where to begin.

heads have been cut for the svt gaskets? wtf?

I suggest putting on new rod bearings that you can get from clevite for less than $50. The only downside to this is the rodbolts are torque to yield which mean you'll also need new rod bolts. But trust me, you want the bearings! As far as head gasket...use the 3L head gasket. your using the 3l block and the 3L heads....i mean...duh! anyways...from thereon up, all hgaskets are your 2.5 ones. You will have to port match you heads to the 2.5 lower intake. The 2.5 has split port design while the 3l is oval port. There are tons of pictures floating around on here that show you what to do. I suggest looking at demonsvt's website as he illustrates the process well. And also contact blackcoog and get his cardomain website and that shows the process as well.

port matching the 2.5 is what i was saying bout cutting the heads its already been matched just not filled to seal it out. So your saying i need to get those rod bearings for it though.

yes. It's not a "the car wont run w/o the upgrade" type of thing, but they are better bearings and it would be wise to change them. You can get them from your local NAPA or Checkerz auto store for cheap. The get ahold of bill Jenkins for some new rod bolts. It honestly will take about half hour to change them, so you might as well do it just for assurance.
