    Engine goes down, timing chain... Replacement engine or easy fix?

    Thanks for the fast reply! It does seem a little much to do the job - but that seems to be par for the course for mechanics in our area... It's not running at all... We were told the engine had to be pulled because their would be plastic/metal shards from the chain inside parts of the engine...

    Engine goes down, timing chain... Replacement engine or easy fix?

    Hey all, We figured out what's wrong with the '86 GT after taking it to a mechanic. It needs a new timing chain. We were quoted $1300 to do it. Yank the engine, swap it out, plug it back into the car. Three questions. Worth the effort/money on a 200k+ mile engine? I presume no. Second...

    '86 GT isn't starting...

    I found that checklist, and it's incredible. Just emailed him that so hopefully it'll help solve the problem. Sorry to waste space on the board, I'll be back if the problem persists!

    UFC tonight - Salem/Mcminnville area sports bar?

    I wish, I'd feel terrible dragging her to a Hooters for 3+ hours for a fight... I went and bought a TV. Thanks for the replies, though, they're appreciated. I found a list on UFC.com of places airing it, all of them are in Portland area. Too bad.

    300CI six cylinder...

    Can you just come over to my house and sit on the workbench? We'll feed you quarters and you can answer all our questions? Really appreciate the help, you're very knowledgeable. He will DEFINITELY want to stick with a carb, so that works well.

    You guys got me researching way past my bed time... If you're curious about the 300ci swap, this is another thread. Do-able, but not easy. And it's funny, the 429 reference even came up! http://fordsix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40286

    My Mustang with Air Ride and big billet wheels

    Wow... I have never really enjoyed the looks of Mustangs of those years, but I was up LATE last night fantasizing about building a car of that year, because of your car. It looks SICK. Certain things you did just make it come together better than I've ever seen. Good job! Can't wait to see...
