In November 08 I took the stang off the road because of excessive blowby from tired rings. I had a decision to make...crate engine or rebuild it myself. Because I was sucessful with the 5.0 swap in 2006, I decided with the help of my boyfriend on heavy duty stuff and stangnet and a mechanic friend a phone call away, I could do this....
Earlier this week I got the engine started for the first time....I was thrilled I had completed this project, including a complete engine rebuild stripped to the block that I put back together with my own 2 hands. I never imagined I would have the guts to try this, and then actually succeed at it....
Because stangnet's wealth of knowledge, this helped give me confidence that If I got stuck I could find help. Thanks to stangnet's members and the love of the mustang community to make this possible.
