I am really tossing the idea back and forth of selling my whole set up, parts and all. Mom has "borrowed" the Frankenstang and is running it to death.....

I cant find anyone that is close to me to help me with a swap or to even come over and see what i have and what I need to be successful. The car is in the shop right now because I actually think that it has lost all oil pressure and wont start. Mom broke down on the expressway a week ago and I had to go out at 1 am to fetch the car. $100 tow bill.....

I sent the tow truck to the shop and the guy is backed up with other cars and low help at work. I dont even know why it wont start at this point or what this bill is going to cost me. If it is too steep or the work is too great to be done to the 2.3 NA engine I will tow it home and make the final decision there.

On one hand I want to rip it all apart and make the care I want....

On the other hand I want to sell the car, the parts, the extra tranny, the Blocks and all. Or trade it for a Beater F-150.......

If I sell I will save the money to purchase a 88TC or a car that is swapped already..

Well anyone who wishes to post in my rant here for either encouraging words, or a F-150 trade go ahead. No I am not selling parts alone at this time.......






BTW can I put this T3 on my V6?

Well, I won't sway you away from a TC, I still like mine despite all the goofy stuff it does.

Not sure why you want a "beater" F-150. Reason?

As far as the T3 on your V6....sure, anything's possible

My TC will be seeing limited road time after the next month or two...I plan to pretty much have it off the road by the end of next month, as I'm looking to purchase a "new" vehicle. I just need something newer that I can drive year round, and I have a job where I'm making a little money now, so I'm looking at vehicles...specifically, looking to get a diesel super duty

However, I won't be selling the TC. Too much time & effort (and a little money) invested into it.

Beater F-150 = I dont want a truck I need to "keep nice" a truck is a truck and should be used as one. A Utility Vehicle that can carry my crap, like a Honda VLX, Football equipment, dogs, bicycles, and many more things I can think of.

Really I do need a truck and when I get the car back from mom, the first person that can give me a good deal on a trade will have all my parts and the car...

On and the T3 on the V6, I posted in the V6 section and its like watching the grass grow in there..... I have heard the crickets since I posted...
