    New Site up and running!

    Ok everyone. We now have a new site affiliated with 60V6.com and that is 3x00swap.com. And this is the forum for that website. So, if you have questions regarding 3x00 swaps, or hybrid engine builds, put them here from now on. If you already have a swap or hybrid build completed, but have performance or maintenance questions, please continue to use the Pushrod forums for those questions.

    And, if you check out the site, you will see that it is currently pretty bare. We are looking for people to contribute to the site by writing articles, guides, parts lists, etc, so that we can make it as successful of a site as this site has become. But we need everybody's help to do it! If you wish to contribute, please send an email to admin@3x00swap.com, and we can discuss everything from there.

    Most likely, the way I see it panning out is, there will be an new Articles section created, and all contributed content will be placed in the Articles section. The articles can then be converted to a PDF file for people to save and/or print out for later use. I haven't tried it to see if it works with photos or not, but hopefully it will.

    Anyway, if you have questions or comments, feel free to post them up. Thanks!

    This is a great idea. I suggest sections like

    Swap:
    .gen 2 to gen3
    .3100 to 3400
    .3100 to 3500
    .3400 to 3500

    and

    Hybrid
    .3.1mpfi to gen3 top end,
    .3100 to 3400 top end
    .3400 to 3500 top end
    .3100 small port to large port intake swap
    ..non roller rocker heads
    ..roller rocker heads

    Throttle body upgrades
    52 to 56
    what to do with 3500 upper
    65mm LX5 TB, CNC options etc.

          I'm all for it if someone is able to provide the information. I personally have never even messed with a Gen 2 engine, so trying to put together an article that discusses it is not something I feel comfortable putting out there. But, in all honesty, it should be exactly the same as (or pretty damn close to) the 3.1 mpfi to Gen 3 top end.

            I sent an email to admin@3x00swap, i'm assuming that's you. I would be willing to do a write up for the MPFI 2.8 to 3400 top end (with a tgp setup plus a few other upgrades) if there's use for it.

            Might be useful for the W-body crowd, as most stuff I found was J-body related.

              Any and everything will be beneficial for that site, since nothing currently exists for it (well, ok the 3400 Swap Guide is there). And platform specific items are great as well, since specific platforms require slight differences for similar swaps.

                I can do a small port to large port intake manifold swap, and a few other things.

                  Write it up in Word or whatever, email it to admin@3x00swap.com, and I will get it up on the site as an article. Include as many pictures as possible!! As far as the pictures go, you can either place them in the middle of the content, or just enter the filename where is applies, then send the photos separately, I can made it all work that way as well.

                        Still waiting on content...

                        I have added a blog to the site as well so I can track the Mustang build.

                          I'll have an OBD1.5 to OBD1 for L body document sometime during winter, which will also contain how to tune etc in it.

                            That will probably end up on 60V6, not 3x00swap. But who knows...
