Looking at the wifes 2000 Taurus 3.0, you'd need a throttle body (60MM) and the bracket for the cables.
Our speed and cruise cables should work with the different bracket.
Forget switching to a 65 TB because the 3.0 bracket mounts into the TB.
Let me get you a picture of the Taurus' set up

Add The real question is will a 3L upper benefit your SVT. The SVT upper measures 30mm primary and 32mm secondary. The SVT lower is 33/35, with the cylinder head ports being about the same (pretty well port matched). But, the intake valves are only 32mm so the ports must taper down. A bigger upper (either 3L or further Extrude Honed 2.5L) may just result in lower gas velocity and possible power loss (with standard SVT cams). Or maybe it will gain flow & power. Unfortunately, I dont think we will know until someone does this and dynos.

Let me get you a picture of the Taurus' set up Only one bolt of the bracket goes to the TB. I'm sure a custom bracket wouldn't be to hard. I'll work on it after I get this 3 liter rebuilt and sold. I could always use an outlet for "spare" parts off of the 3 liters... :rolleyes: BTW, I have only pre '00 uppers... Wonder if the plastic one would be a better heat barrier... wonder if the lowers are the same on '00+? I know for a fact the gaskets are different... A rare mistake of Bill Jenkins let me onto that one.

It looks like the upper intake from the Taurus engine has different mounting points?

What about intake velocity????? the 3.0 intake looks like one very large runner (correct me if im wrong) i would think that this would hurt a standard 2.5 down low, the seperate runners allow good low speed torque and both for that screaming upper we all love........ also seeing how the rear bank intake tracks are shorter (at least it appears that way form the pics) wouldnt that cause more intake balance problems with the motor????? without seeing it first hand i dont know but thats how it looks to me
