Requesting 3.0L Parts list

[SVTmy98SE]

Hello, I was wondering if there was a parts list that anyone has made for the swap. I believe my 2.5 SE just said it was done. So I am possibly looking at doing the swap. If anyone had made one and a list of possible upgrades to the 3.0L. I have a 98 SE or 98.5 SE I think and I am wanting the 3.0L swap. Is it best just to buy a totaled SHO if I can find one?

 

 

Is there a How To Guide?

 

 

Parts List: Needed UpGrades

 

 

Motor: Year ?? 3.0l Taurus, SHO if available

 

 

Wiring: ???

 

 

Clutch: upgrade ???

 

 

Other Parts: ???

 

 

Thanks for your help.

Not worried about CA legal. I am in the Military and the car will be registered in GA.

SHO engine is not compatible. Not even close.

 

Engine: '01-05 Taurus/Sable 3.0L Duratec. VIN code "S" on the eighth character.

 

Wiring: stock wiring is retained

 

Clutch: Sachs or LuK stock SVT clutch for a non-abused daily driver is fine. ClutchNet makes several kits which can handle more abuse.

 

other parts: MSDS headers, Trubendz cat back, BAT Inc. (British Auto Transfer) has some stuff.

 

You MUST get the computer reflashed. SCT dealers can provide a base tune to correct most issues, but a dyno shop can provide the best tune tailored to your setup.
