i guess while im at it i'll swap out the short block to 2001 T-5 2.3l...first thing is to make 2006 tensioner work on this older style setup. 



still have to weld it .

absolutely, i paid top dollar for this block, 150$ to be exact ...and these bearings are like new...they look better than my 2.3 cylinder walls see below.....to me it is a neanderthal combustion engine...people that spent 10,000 of dollars on their builds is just...is just ...well just not for me...and know they blow those engines same way...seen it soooo many times... that's just the way i think.
