I recently got a 95 taurus 3.0 that Im going to freshen up and put in my 93 ranger. the taurus engine had about 80K miles on it and the previous owner ran it out of coolant and popped the head gasket, the wrist pins were tight on one side and one headgasket blew between the cylinders. I took it to the machine shop to have new cam bearing put in and the block cleaned up. It checked out good and my internals are on the way.
I have a couple of questions. first of all the cam in the taurus apparently is different than what is in my ranger now, both are rollers but the taurus has different specs. can I use the taurus cam in the ranger or should I just use the ranger one. Which one would be the best choice?
Also the intake that I have now is the newer one with the equal length runners and the removeable tb (I think 98) . i read somewhere that I can use a composite one instead from an 02 or so and get some more out of the motor. What I get one from fro sure , year?? and is it worth the money.
And I was told that I can use roller rockers on the 3.0 that came from a 5.0. Has any one done that and what did they originally come off of.
