As some of you may know, I joined ths forum about 9 months ago after I bought a 1989 lx from a junk yard for about $600. It didn't have an engin or transmission. I got an engine a little while later for around $200. The engine needed some work so I took it to the local engine shop and told them what I wanted done. The total came out to $1900 and one hell of an egine. After trying to save up the money wrking my dead end job, I decided to call them and tell them to sell it because I couldn't come up with the money. They told me someone had already come in and payed for it.

I automatically assumed the engine had been sold and hung up the phone. That was around 3 months ago. A couple weeks ago the company called me up and asked when I was going to pick it up. They explained that A person had walked in and paid cash for my engine with my name. They didn't even take a copy of the recipt. Here's a list of things done:

302 bored .060 over
Speed Pro Hypereutectic pistons w/coted skirts
Crank ground .010
Ford Racing B303 cam
Heads shaved
Bigger valves
custom valve springs to match cam
completely rebuilt with all new bearings, gaskets, plugs, oil pump
New lifters
New pushrods

I need to know what the stock specs are on the fuel pump for a 5.0 vs a pump for a 2.3?

Did you ever find out who payed the bill for you?

mattdel

i think you think i meant i had the same setup, i don't. i was answering your question. the pump is the same.

speakerman86

Thanks for answering the question. No, I haven't found out who payed for the engine. I've talked to anyone in my family and friends who would have that kind of money to do that. What gets me is that it was payed off in september and I dindn't find out until recently. I'm glad to hear that the pumps are the same. I plan to upgrade the entire fuel delivery system soon, but I need to get the car on the road first. My damn mazda started blowing black smoke and hasn't been driveable since it started snowing here in oklahoma

Well that is just freakin awesome for you ! So i guess i'm gonna have a shop build a motor for me and just pray someone pays for it.....thats like dream land shyt, you are freakin lucky.

speakerman86

Yeah, When I found out it was waiting for me I told them I would be there within the hour. I still have to do the final assembly, but the timing is done and everything else. That's what I love about Mustang fans. I've never heard anything like that from a chevy person, unless the engine was junk and they just wanted to get rid of it..........lol
