Older listing of build tooling, replacement and performance parts used in the 3L duratec. SOme of these oare related to the Contour re-engine project from 2.5L to the 3L also availalbe in the Escapes. Prices are several years old.

It should be noted that in 2008 Ford pulled replacement pistons and rods from the market and only support short block assemblies to repair lower ends repairs. If you wish to do your own work you must get pistons custom made. Diamond Racing pistons is one option and have made 2.5 and 3L duratec pistons before.

These are references only and a current IPC should be consulted if you are building an engine.
