changeing motor

[klapdout]

well, i found a 98 gt for cheap, motors bad, thinking of picking it up, buying a crate motor from a 99-04 to drop in it

i'm pretty sure i'll need the ecu/harness from a 99-04, anything else?

don't want to buy/not buy anything i need when im putting it in :SNSign:

what's bad with the motor?

 

[klapdout]

he said the rings were bad, its got quite a few miles on it, and ive seen him around town beating the piss out of it
all i know for sure is it smokes, its cheap and i want it

I would spend the extra 600-800 and get a forged built shortblock.... in the end if you decide to go for big power youll be glad you did. you shouldnt need a new ECU.. guys put the PI heads on those cars all the time.

 

[klapdout]

any place you recomend for a forged shortblock?

you don't need a harness or ecu ( pcm) the PI motor is drop in for that car

they can definatly hook you up.

I found mine by a local guy for around 2400 (shortblock) with the stock crank and forged rods/pistons. I think MMR sells theres for about the same. A replacement shortblock is 1600.

There are about half a dozen reputable companies that can supply you with one, with different prices and different stages of build. Just check out the last issue of MM&FF Ford. They've got most of them listed.
