Unless people have home made flow benches too? The alternative is use the LIM off the 2.5 and the UIM from the 3.0? This would entail what you were explaining before?
Aren't people oval porting their newer Taurus motors to reuse their 2.5 plenums?

Someone did run various manifolds on a chassis dyno and confirmed that, as a few of us knew, was inadequete for a 3L engine.
I'd recommend not doing the so called 'porting' to use a twin port manifold to an oval port head. Doing so compromises mixture motion in the combustion chamber. The offset injector position, spray patterns, etc...
Ford Contour & Mercury Mystique Forums - FordContour.Org I'd highly recommend getting an account over on FCO and view some of recent threads and start your own should you have any more questions. Investigate your options a bit further before making a decision.
