I am starting to plan ahead for this winter in Iowa. I am planing on buying a complete mercury motor out of a mountaineer. I am also going to pull the motor and sand and fill all of the holes in the engine bay and paint.
My first question is should I use the mercury block? I am going to have the heads and intake gone through by a shop here. But is the block any better than mine? I'm not sure on the mileage on the mercury but my block has 104k
My second question is which cam would work best with gt40p heads? I know that a lot of people use the tfs 1 cam with this set up.
I will have about $750 bucks after the mercury motor, so I also want to know what else I should plan while my car is down? I have sub frame connectors, 75 mm throttle body w/spacer, moved the battery to the back, upr upper and lower control arms.
So, what else should I look to buy before this winter. I want to keep my eyes open to find the good deals.
Thanks for the advice in advance
