Now I really don't know what to do.I've got svt cams ,01+ 2.5 heads and a 04 escape engine on it's way soon but now I'm wondering if I should just use the modded LIM and leave the rest of the engine alone.All these different opinions are confusing since i've never even driven a vehicle with a 3.0L and never got the feel of one.

If you arn't in the throttle much and like passing power, etc.. 3L cams may be for you. If you are after track performance, the SVT cams may be for you (no they're not ideal in a shared port but there is no other cheap alternative to high performance camshafts and do work well).

Bottom line, twin port intakes on twin port heads and vice versa for oval. 3L intakes on 3L engines.

Thanks for your input.I was forgetting that I will be using split port manifolds so svt cams will be more suitable from what I read.I haven't decided about the heads though.The higher CR sounds nice but is it really worth the work is what I'm wondering since 3.0L's are already 10:1 with oval heads.

It shouldn't matter which port style you use SVT cams with when not using the 2.5L UIM (like you shouldn't unless properly modified, which raises more issues anyway).

The twin port Taurus UIM no longer has the bifurcation between runners so it is a shared port but still allows the use of the IMRC for lowspeed cylinder filling. So there really is no benefit as far as dual runner acoustical tuning either way unless you use the 2.5L UIM (which is inadequete).

Hybrids have a fouled up combustion chamber and could use some work but the return may not be practical for the amount invested. The higher CR can work against you at high engine speeds and puts more stress on parts.

I'd just as well use a late model engine unless you want to spend the money for an electric water pump and still use the twin ports with IMRC.

I like your post #19 in the intake test results thread.
I'm doing this swap next winter so I have plenty of time to make up
my mind.
