Hi everyone,

My new edge mustang gt (4.6 2v) with 88k miles got hydrolocked in some flooding about 7 months ago. It has been sitting in a climate controlled garage for all 7 months, with all its fluids while I shopped around for an engine and tried to decide if fixing it was worth the cost.

I can do the whole thing for under 2k, but the car has been problematic since I've gotten it. Previous owner rode it hard and we've had to replace suspension and other components. Biggest issue has been something in the fuel/electrical system where it would run rich and throw o2 sensor error codes no matter how we tried to chase it down and replace sensors. Mechanic claims that a new engine would fix these troubles.

Normally I would do the engine swap (invested a lot and like the car) but I can only afford only that and I'm leery of the effects from 7 months of stagnation and the running rich problem. Are these real concerns? Would appreciate any advice on what to do. Thanks!
