KillJoy Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I hope you got a good deal!!! KillJoy I think $2700 from the original owner is a good deal... Running out of patience... When I changed the oil, there was a day on the filter. it was August '08. I think my noise is a rod knocking. I have a line on another engine, so I think I'm just going to drive it till itblows up.

Ziggy1647545504 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah, yeah, yeah... I'll take my lumps. Even if I do end up putting an engine in it, it'll still be worth more than I have in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy1647545504 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 My uncle has a couple of lincoln mark VIII 4 cam engines around the garage, I know he's planning to drop one of them into his mustang, the thought was maybe we'll push the time table up a little bit and swap his engine into my car and open up his engine bay for the swap in the process.

Now you are wanting to swap a 4v in place of a 2v? Cool - Yes. Would I do it - Fuck no! :thumbup: KillJoy PS - 4V's LOVE boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy1647545504 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Well, I decided to take my uncle up on the offer to buy the car from me for what I had in it. My car lives in Columbus now and has already begun it's transformation. It'll be having a complete heart transplant and color change. It'll be blue over black two tone with some mild striping between, and a blue engine bay. The engine going into it will be an aluminum 4.6 4 cam from a Lincoln Mark VIII, likely with a few mods. He's already removed the engine, trans, and front sheet metal to prep it for paint and swap. Turns out, the source of my intermittant noise was indeed a spun #8 rod bearing. It must have been only a part time spinner though because the crank and rod both looked okay. Not that it matters though, that engine won't be pressed into service again any time soon.

RadDawg Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 My old '01 had a similar type noise, turned out to be an exhaust hanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
