I am looking into this. It sounds like I can make use of this better than buying seperate parts for mine. Or if you know of someone selling a rebuilt slightly modded motor for around the same price let me know. I am looking to buy one somewhere around July/ August time frame. Thanks

Well he says parkland auto rebuild, but I see a pacific national auto parts tag, and they have been out of business for awhile.
I would buy only if heads are taken off in my presence so as i could see that indeed it had not been ran.

look down the plug hole with a flashlight? seems like a good deal to me and it's the rare occasion where the seller doesn't make it out to be something it's not(race motor!! stock though..)

Personally, that seems like a helluva lot of money for non-HO engine of questionable pedigree.

Very good call everyone. This was only an idea of what I am looking for, however I think that I am going to have to change my plans. Gas is killing me just like everyone else and I need something better on gas. I figure I take the cash that I was going to spend on the rebuild and buy a little beater import that does good on gas and start the work later this year. Thanks for the feedback though.

Yeah, I know....it's hard to sell my Mirage or even my 4cyl Ranger for strictly gas reasons. Especially since I want to replace them with a new F-150 or another stang. Thought about getting another 94-98 V6 stang for a DD but honestly gas mileage is only a tad better than my V8 stang. Hard to sell a low mileage mitsubishi mirage that gets 30+ MPG, in great shape that I bought for cheap from my mom.

Well at least I'm not selling the stang though. I just cant bring myself to that point. I can always keep it for the weekend and the track. I figure one of the older civic hatch's that gets like 35 mpg should work for school and work.
