Im looking for specific information on the 2.5/3.0 liter duratec....
i too am bitten by the horsepower bug and i want to start to build a motor that i can enjoy for years to come. ive decied to go the 3.0 route for now (w/ small shot of nos) to keep me happy for now with plans of forced induction later down the road.
im going to get a taurus (99') block to start the process.
what i need to know, is there a major difference between the the taurus and contour cranks? aka: forging, treating, or dementions of the crank. if not i want to take the stock crank and have it worked on for extra durability
also i want to have custom rods made for the car and i need the specific rod specifications. ie, wristpin size, crank bearing size, center to center length, overall length,width at the big end, i need this to start the process of finding some one to build them (crower makes custom 4340 steel billet rods) i plan on spending a good 1500 or so on the bottom end not including the stock taurus components
anyway if you guys have the info i need please let me know
thanks matt
