So we intend to rebuild the motor how would we know what parts to order if typhoon or xr6 turbo.. Ford was no help to my son as the car was a rear end ride off and they told him to find out what motor it was they need details off the car is that right?

I think??? there were a couple of overlaps where the F6 got rods or pistons?? before the XR6 did?? Make sure sump (what else on a long motor??) matches the car/model you want to (or hope to) throw it into so you don't have to do twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with everyone, while your there chuck some decent rods in it at least,if you don't & kneed them down the track- another rebuild to put them in. Kinda makes it cheaper to put them in now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
