Thanks for the replies. I am going to first see if I can get a DMD. Originally posted by SableSal:
Hey Brad, on this setup... Did you have to cut the cam? If so, you have pics of that?
Not sure what you mean by this Sal, but I didn�t do any cutting on my cams. PM me if you need any help.

Ah, I know why no cutting of cams... You swapped the 2.5L heads over didn't you??
Nevermind, I should probably do the same. Lemme know what kinda power she produces in the end.

I think I remember reading somewhere recently about some dude trying to put SVT cams into a duratec motor that did not have the cam driven water pump. Is this what you mean? If so, he doesn't have anything to cut off because the engine he has and all the Contour/Mystique Duratec v6 engines had the cam driven water pump.
Of course, if you we're doing the opposite, putting Contour/Mystique cams into a Duratec motor (without a cam driven water pump), than yes, you would have to cut off the pulley and some metal off the one camshaft to make it fit into the head.

Looks like I will be calling Bill tomorrow. I cant really wait for someone to sell me one from their broken car. Oh well I just want to get the rest of this swap done. I have to head over the tranny section to learn how to shim next!

Is there a write up on this site that shows the steps and what and where the cams need to be cut off?
Thanks everyone so far for helping me while following this thread. I've learned soo much so far!
Thank you again!

I don't think there is a write up of it...really doesn't have to be. After you get the 2.5 cams next to your 3L heads, you'll see what you've got to do and where you need to chop the cam.
