Threw a rod in my engine block, new engine is $4400 + like $1400 for installation. Was just about to sell the thing too. Any ideas suggestions? Anyone want a mustang?

I would check into an used engine from a junk yard they actually have good engines sometimes and they test them for you. It will save a lot of money for you. I have bought a tranny from a junk yard for $84 and it still works great put it in myself. My friend owns a junk yard. What year mustang and condition. My younger brother has a 67 mustang in great condition.

Its a 98 Cobra.....good idea but I dont think there are many SVT engines laying around at junkyards.

Have a motor built like you said, maybe throw a supercharger on it a try to sell and break even, the supercharger may help it sell and get some more $$$ for it.JMO

I hope so, considering there were only about 15-16,000 engines like it. Maybe I could throw in the '03-'04 engine, we shall see. Either way it sucks. I was in debt for the longest time, and I am almost all paid back and about to enter the military. Then this $hit happens. Looks like I know where my first 6 months pay is going.

Oh mate that sucks, i feel for ya. Why did it throw a rod, was it run in properly? Also was the workmanship all under warrantee? Mate if i had the coin to ship it i would be all over it. Good luck.

threw a rod cuz due to lack of oil pressure or some $hit. Im the second owner, warranty is no good......

Could be a collector - I'd find a place to store it if you're going in to the military and then figure it out at a later date - You might meet some gearheads that like to wrench.

Even the SVT? If youve ever looke under the hood of one you know how damn tight it is. Looks to me like it would be a pain. Might just sell it for the price i was gonna get minues the cost of the engine. Id lose quite a bit doin that though. WTF can ya do?

**JDawg1536** · 09-25-2005, 03:00 AM

A friend of mine is a Ford mechanic, and apparently there is a conversion you can do that would turn it into a 5.0, and it would be pushin around 380hp. Supposed to be about $3k, so we will see.

pull it apart, might not be as bad as you think. might be able to get a new block and pistons and be good. youll save some money if you rebuild what you got. and you can upgrade
