my 16 year old nephew found a nice 94 - 3.8 mustang... body/paint are nice, interior real clean. he got it for 600.00 BUT motor is shot.

cant rotate the assembly... its seized. owner swears it did not over heat..etc.. no smells, fluids are all in it and not bad.

What ford 3.8 motors will drop without much hassle?
which can we use the 94 pcm with? or can we just use this motors top end and PCM on any 94-98?

i understand the heads are an issue this year? looking at used motors from junk yards/ebay etc.. 400.00-600.00 for motors with 120k+

We could just buy all new internals/g and rebuild...

info/ideas thanks for any help
