Browning Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 How hard are these? I'm not a ford guy so I don't have much experience with them but I found a good looking mustang that needs head gaskets(leaks out exhaust) for $750. Not sure if the prie is firm or not. It's only a v6 and has high miles, 170k http://images.craigslist.org/3na3m03l35O85Q05Sc98h389d957e6fc61ce3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 5.0 swap it... 3.8 head gaskets will take someone that hasnt dont them some time.. the job pays 11 or 13 hours if i remember right. but watch out for warped heads.. that or let me buy it and 5.0 it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No swap plans, would just serve as a beater. It's only $750 and I'm not sure I want it.

Ramsey Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I did one over the winter and it took about 4 days, just watch out and torque all bolts, esp. the lower intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I think my plans just got ruined. Pretty sure my transmission in the s10 went out today. clutch still feels good and doesn't make any noise putting it in gear but after I let out the truck won't move and it just makes a grinding sound. Will be making a thread once the tow truck makes it here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
