Differences between 95 3.0 and a 2003 3.0

[yzrider67]

So the motor in my 95 is on it's last legs and I managed to find a low mileage motor from an 03 to replace it. My question is will this be pretty much a direct drop in or will there be some parts that need to be swapped over from old to the new?

I plan on replacing the clutch, water pump and pulley's anything else I should consider?

I won't have the new one here for about a week or two so I'd like gather up anything I need while I wait. Yes I did search.

Thanks!
Steve

look @ above link don't know if you have seen this

i do think it would work just alot of parts to swap mainly intake and injectors.

Thanks black_demon69 I did have a look through that but it didn't really answer the questions I had. I was under the impression that the intake could be adapted to work with non-plastic intake models.

I'm pretty sure the intake can be adapted to work, only difference I know of is the heads and the block casting is different, I think there's a write up on the composite intake swap
