Good 55K donor car? FS: the saga continues
Sold the car to a good friend a little while back and the rings went again. shes back to an empty engine bay....someone please buy this and do the 55K swap. The car clearly wants it and spits out any motor of lesser degree, its becoming obvious.
Not sure what the deal is with the two motors I picked up and since removed. I thought it could have been a fuel issue as this is the 2nd motor that went. Triple checked and things seem to be in order fuel wise. I do know that some of the engines there sat outside occasionaly as stock moves..could it be from sitting out in the elements? Each one was pretested and given new fluids/plugs/etc..the 5.0 ran strong also so I'm kinda bummed.

What is he asking for it? I will have a spare 4.3 once I swap my engine in. New house has priority right now, so I don't know when I will undertake the swap, but I have the 5.4 already.

$4500.00 including the hoist and old original 4.3L
Realistically the car could be up and running for $6500.00 if the buyer knows what to do with it.
Lets hope its not still around when you do the swap but if it is let me know.
