I was under the impression that to install a 3.0 with CIS required some cutting of the trunk wall to fit? I checked the classic FAQ and it only indicated this was needed for the newer 3.6 engine.
If cutting is required (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) what other options are available? TIA, |

This is a myth that just won't die.
The ribbed snorkel on the top MAY hit the engine lid, though you can usually mount the engine a bit lower to clear it. You will have to remove the lid latch, and either reposition it off to the side, or just use hood pins, or just remove the lid springs and make the lid easily removable (and use hood pins). The rear trunk springs will have to go, so you'll need to do a gas spring conversion or the like. There's not a lot of clearance with the rear trunk, but there's enough. If you move some items that CAN be moved, like the decel valve, there's a bit more room, and you may even be able to retrain your trunk springs. |
