I did the same thing!! I'm trying to research the best way to fix it and the 3L swap seems best. Those Bugzaki plates are hard to find tho, does anyone know if it's possible to do it without them?
Unhelpful. Unspecific. If you are going to do a video, take the time to prepare what you are going to say, sounds like you are just winging it here. You are not being specific as needed: show the people where the tabs are that need to be cut! You could have used pics of before and after of the crank being ground down, the alt bracket tabs. Not to mention, what about WHAT TO DO when you have an engine mount that won’t just slip out of the donor 3.0??? Grinding down the rib on the 2.5 mount to allow it to slip in is straightforward enough, though it’s not really mentioned. Hell, even the portmatching is straightforward enough if you explain how to properly keep the port shape. But what about that mount?
Lookin at this car makes me sad I miss mine had one new in 2000 and loved the car
this is just what i needed! just spun a bearing on my original 2.5l

I'm ported 3l. Love it
Thanks for the info👍
Should also mention the 3.0 heads have larger valves than the 2.5 so having stock 2.5 heads on the 3.0 block comes at some loss of flow.
I debated it but for most owners, that bit of info won't mean anything.
Glad to see more contour 3l swap info out there. I don’t have Facebook how can I find bugzuki plates for my swap?
Pole120@hotmail.com is the contact for the gentleman who sells them.
@@Blktpcrzrs thanks!
If I use a 3.0 from a 96-99 Taurus, what additional problems would I have?
It won't work.
What's the easiest swap 3l motor for a CSVT? Most straight forward install and what would I need to cut/modify to get it to work?
Easiest, is a portmatch swap using the 01-04 taurus engine.
Which one is the best too boost?
Full 3l swap. Has lowest compression and the intake has more volume than the svtc intake.
@@Blktpcrzrs have any idea where i can go to find info/potentially purchase a turbo kit

Instead of commenting this ungrateful nonsense why didn’t you make your own how to video to show him how it’s done?
Can you make a video of this? I want to swap a 3l into my CSVT
