Unhappy

WELL....f*ck, sh*t,d*mn. I think it's gone. I ran the trouble codes and came back with a message that I had none. Well, there's def. a problem tho, lol. I had assumed that I was throwing a code because every time you put the key in th SES light appears, but i had forgot it goes away when starting the car, I mean when the car actually starts So i came to the conclusion that somewhere along the line the engine blew, though i had only spun those tires for about ten seconds and NEVER abused the car, i have no idea why the engine would be going out on me now. Im currently at less than 8 psi and 355hp, so its not like this was a problem I was that worried about, even with 75,000 miles. What to do now guys (assuming its blown)? Im thinking a loan from the bank and a start forging? how about a 4v? Any suggestions? And thanks everyone for the help and concern!

stay with the 2v. be cheaper. u just have to take it to the shop and tell them what you want and they price it all out for you.

Now I don't know where you live but in Orange Park Florida there is a shop called HP Performance...if you don't know this is one of the main shops that MM&FF uses for all there fast assed Mustangs...I bought my new motor from them a couple of days ago. Forged everything still a 2v with custom heads and cams..all you gotta do is take off your accessories. And it only cost me 3600 for the engine. After I get it dropped in and a SCT tune done by Tony Gonyon at HP I'll be putting down 400bhp N/A...maybe you should look at something like that and sell the core of your old motor for whatever you can. Hope this helps. If you want more info on the motor or anything just pm me.
