Ok...I have 2 3L engines I'm gonna be rebuilding in the next 3-4 months. I'd like some input on the first, and I'll post another topic when I do the other.
Description:
Unknown year 3L block with 2000 SVT heads/UIM/LIM (True old school hybrid)
>100,000 miles
EGR Delete (welded shut)
Engine was originally put together by former CEG member Cory in WV. Engine was data-logged and tuned. Runs great and didn't burn any oil. I'm pulling the engine and its going into another SVT I just purchased, so I'm gonna rebuild it for the new car. This will be my 3 season fun car. NO TRACKING (I have another SVT I'm prepping for track time). I'm gonna keep the true hybrid format, as it works for the street.
Parts I'm buying:
Clevite main and rod bearings
ARP Head studs (cheaper than the stock TTY Ford head bolts I believe)
All new gaskets
Rings
New crank and camshaft sensors
Maybe new timing gear?
I plan on having the heads and block hot tanked, and then the block honed.
Since this is gonna be a street build, I wasn't planning on head work (porting, 5 angle valve job, or 3L valves and all), tho I was planning on gasket matching and all.
Will I need new:
Pistons?
Lifters?
Valve springs?
Timing gear?
Valves?
Valve guides?
Do I need forged Pistons and Rods for a relatively mild street build?
I already have MSDS headers, Weapon R y-pipe, and true Borla exhaust. Of course I'll replace the alternator while the motor is out. Prob a Clutchnet Stage 1 clutch. I believe it has the stock SVT clutch. Maybe grab a DMD.
Any advice or expertise would be appreciated.
