Got the 3.0 out yesterday.

- Reworked the oil baffle from the 3.4 to allow the 3.0 oil pick up tube to fit. This is easy. The 3.0 pick up tube fits nicely.

-Used the 3.0 oil pan. Fits with no rework.

-I left the 3.0 AC compressor in the engine bay still hooked up to the line. This way I will not have to service the freon when the swap is complete. I will install the 3.4 clutch and pully on it because the drive belt style is different. Not hard to do.

-Moved the 3.0 oil sending unit to the 3.4. No rework required just put it in.

-Removed the 3.4 dipstick plug and installed the dipstick block fitting from the 3.0. These are just pressed in and can be tapped out of the block from the bottom with the oil pan off.

-Used the oil dipstick and dipstick tube from the 3.0. Cut the upper attach bracket loose and rewelded it in a new position to allow it to clear everything and still bolt up.

-Used the two engine mounts from the 3.0. The 3.4 mounts are longer and appear to be a slightly different angle.

Should have the 3.4 bolted in place this afternoon.
