Lol I got lucky I found a motor with 60k miles for a lil of nothing off a buddy but the block was scarred cuz **** went everywhere. Lol your best off getting that short block lol..take it from experience!

 

mmhmm, I really want to buy a full core like the one I found. it has everything but the timing cover, oil pan and pulley. And IIRC I can use the timing cover from the stang, oil pan's are only about ~80 from Ford, and I'm going to need an ASP UDP for the 4.2 swap anyway

 

Im still afraid of strapping my car to the dyno and powderizing the pistons...

 

This.
I wanna try and repull the '98 in the current weather (cooler), but I'd rather have a working car right now as it is my daily. I stared a project that is a 56 mile (each way) daily hike.

 

Yeah, cooler weather my ***. Where I am we're expecting 8-12 inches of snow tonight! And my stang's still outside Need to get a "tent garage" and a space heater

 

****s bad maaannn, waitin for a call to go plowing

 

Yeah no kidding, I'm up in Manchester working right now and aaaallll down the main st (elm st) is completely dead and there's no one at the bar. So much for the 4.2 tip jar

Edit: Holy revelations batman! Did you guys know we have a digital tach built into our instrument cluster??

 

A what? Lol

 

you just learned that?

 

yeah i wish it would stay on as long as you like. its too much of a pain in the *** to start the car that way every time
