I have read through all I could find here and other places. I have a 2001 3.0 single cab. That engine will not stay in there but it will be a little while. While working towards my project I find myself wanting to do things to the 3.0.
1st question, has anyone used the Tom Morana parts? Ported intake, dual TB mod and so on? The dual TB intake claims 25hp 25tq. I think that is quite far fetched and would like to know if anyone has indeed try such parts.
I have been porting intakes and heads for 20+ years and this would be nothing to do. I do have a broken exhaust stud on one head so I will be pulling them. I will order the reman heads with the upgraded seats ($309.00) and port those, then swap.
2nd Question is are the old 5.0 Mustang rockers interchangeable? I have a few sets.
I know the engine was designed for torque and it does well, fighting the shear design could become a issue but i'm not asking for this one to see 200+ and 6k rpm lol. Just put some pep in it's step. Thanks, Jason.
