Ok heres a little backround information..

A month ago, my car spun a bearing. I ordered a new motor thru work (Carman Ford) and swapped it in. Heres some pictures of my parts pile.




Anyway.. I put the motor in, and noticed after I got it running (on the lift) that it leaked oil at a tremendous rate. Spent about 30 minutes trying to diagnose the problem, and turns out the #2 cylinder spark plug tube (the part milled into the head) had a hole in it. It was filling the hole up and running down the back dripping onto the exhaust. I was PISSED. Went thru a day of bull**** and getting approval codes with Ford, and had my new motor ordered. BUT, since I bought the last motor in the country, Ford had to make me another one from scratch. I ordered it last Thursday, and was promised it would be in this comingTuesday. In the meantime, I pulled the new (****ty) motor back out and now the car is just sitting out behind work. I havent been able to drive it in over a month. The only bright side, is that I am not gettin paid warranty time to install my new new motor. yay for me.. Ok, enough talk...pics..

 

Nice hope everything works out for ya.
I blew out my trans and it sat for about a month I thought I was gonna lose it not being able to drive my baby for that long, the first thing I done was pull up to the corner and dumped the clutch at about 5K ": )

 

STILL waiting on my god damned motor to come in.. I was told 2 weeks ago it would be a week. Now its supposed to be comin in this Tuesday...however I have a bad feeling they areBS'n me. I HATE my fuggin parts department

 

so ur swapping ur motor with another stock one?

 

Im just curious to how much the ford dealer spanked you on the new motor, it would of probably been cheaper to buy a forged shortblock from MMR for cheaper.

 

+1. and with the forged shortblock, u would have been able to mod ur 4.6L a lot more aggresively....

 

I got my brand new longblock for $3900, and thats with a 75k warranty. Find me an aftermarket, forged long block with that warranty for anywhere near 4gs..please point me in the right direction. I work at a Ford dealership, so I get the discount and whatnot.

 

u dont need any warranty with a forged block! thats y its forged!!! lol

 

You just dont understand man..

but thats ok [8D]

 

well if u want to spend all that money, and still be limited to only 425 rwhp, then thats all u...... [8D]
