I came across a 281-E Motor taken out of a Saleen Mustang that had 15000 Miles on it. The car was lost when it swung out of a curve and broad-sided a tree up in the rolling hills of North Carolina...
Last week, down here in Miami, my 1999 Six-cylinder died when I let it run out of coolant, it over-heated, something cracked and begun smoking oil, then it pinged itself to death.
Anyways, I have provisions of swapping out the two. I am purchasing the Saleen motor for $1000.00. It ran great after the accident, but the car was banana-shaped and was parted out. I will be getting everything but the ECU, Wiring harness, smog pump, Intake manifold and supercharger.
My first question is there is a discrepancy over what parts Saleen modifies? ... The website says they put in better rods, pistons, crank, etc... But everyone’s telling me Saleen only puts bolt-ons, in other words I will be getting a stock motor.
I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction with the v-6 extraction and v-8 install. I'll have the motor, $ 1500.00 and an empty Six-cylinder Mustang. Also I have a Just-rebuilt T5, a 11" Centerforce Clutch, some bolt-on extras including long-tube headers and what ever I can sell from the Six.
Please give me your responses... I look forward to your feedback, Thanks!
