Sorry to hear that dillan

I don't know about the 2.5 bottom end swap but I am sure some one more knowledgeable than I will be along shortly :)

Put the 3.0 cams in the 2.5, 3.0 heads are lower compression on a 2.5

ya but once you have done a few mods to the 2.5 its roughly the same bhp as 3.0L on standard inside so pretty sure it would take the power
