I hate to break this to you, but the 3.0L V6's are well known for oil leaks, if it doesn't now then it will soon. They mostly leak at the valve covers which isn't hard to fix. I have had 2 Shelby Z's with the 2.2L Turbo II.

The engine was just rebuilt, so it no longer has the oil problem, We redid all the internals with new rings..etc.

Runs smooth and no smoke at all

As well it should be. I sunk tons of money into my Shelby Z, but I still hated to let it go.[sm=smiley19.gif] I loved that car.

DAMN, i juts bought some stock suspension shock and struts....

For Shelby conversion..what do i need? Lorco and canadian tire did not have a specific replacement part for that model. They only list 4cyl and 6cyl.

I am just guessing, Shocks, Strust, Springs...but will i need other things like antiroll bar..etc?

Hmm I wonder if they make a front and rear upeer tower Strut Bar to make the chassy stronger?
