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. :nono:

 

:lol:

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!

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.
