    97 V8 Rod Bearings and Bolts, Suggestions?

    Honestly at this point that was my plan, but I figured it was worth a shot to ask people a bit more familiar with this engine than I am. I am almost positive I know why it went and I am really hoping the crank is not gone, but i will figure out more when I have some time to dig into it. Need to...

    97 V8 Rod Bearings and Bolts, Suggestions?

    Well guys I haven't been on in a while, got a broke SHO and picked up a few other projects (2 V6 contours, an 04 CVPI, and an 83 Ranger) I'm working hard on those projects but the SHO has been set to the side for now. Several months ago it started knocking very very slightly, can only be...

    seats

    yeah seats from 96-07 will work but yes the connectors are different and also the newer seats use a different buckle with a pretensioner on it that you will need to replace with the buckle from your seats. the gen 3 SHO seats are so much more comfortable than Gen 4 seats though. i have SHO seats...

    knocking...

    V8 Waterpump Belt/Tensioner

    ok so an 04 Duratec belt will not work. it is actually longer than the one on the V8. I ended up fixing the tensioner. to get it off without removing the waterpump i chopped the head of the bolt off and then found a new shorter on as there was over 1/4 of unused threads on teh original anyway...

    V8 Waterpump Belt/Tensioner

    actually the 2.5L Duratec found in the Contour/Mystique/Cougar and a few others has the intake cam driven waterpump. then the 3.0L in the Taurus/Sable adopted it in 01 and carried it through until 05. in 04 they went to a tensionerless system on the 3.0L. I swapped an 04 engine into my 2000...

    V8 Waterpump Belt/Tensioner

    the other day i broke my waterpump belt tensioner and rather than replacing it i would like to at least try a waterpump belt off of an 04-05 Duratec, i would steal the one off my sable to test it but i have a problem, i have no idea how the belt on the V8 comes off. does the waterpump need to...
