So now I am changing engines.

Well I have now found out the the rings are shot... and that the bearings are taking alot of washing damage... thats the bad news.

The good news. I found a 3.0 and ecm for a great price.:laugh: So what else do I really have to have to convert my 2.5 over to the 3.0?

Do I need the ignition computer?

Do I have to have the tranny or can I use the current one?

and from what I understand is that the motor mounts should be the same. is that true?

any and all tip and info would be appreaciated!
