motor difference

Dude, if exhaust doesn't matter, why did you put this:

"lincmotrsprt dbl x pipe, polished expansion exhaust"

on your car?

all i wanted was to know if i was getting the right motor for my lsc. the rest is just repeating what i was told. i was sharing what i found out, youd have to be an idiot to not know that a true dual exhaust doesnt add more hp.and yes i am stubborn,thanks.

Bigger sig pics make up for smaller... um...


Anyway. If you are replacing the engine, there are better options than going with another Mark VIII engine.

looking now still,used vs. crate and who the hell said exhaust doesnt matter AFTERMARKET is always better than stock and the list is for modifications, i wastalking about how engines power ratings come from the factory. pay attention.and its not small, but it dont work anyways, im paralyzed from the chest down,so it might as well be a vienna sausage
 
thanks ill checkem out, thats all i can use the accessories, it got so hot i melted all the sensors my temp sending unit must have been out or going it all happened in less than a minute.
 
Don't use a Gen 1 motor unless you change the valve springs.
Gen 1s didn't come with beehive springs.
I say thus cause it looks like you might race your car.

Going to have to disagree somewhat. There are a million Gen1 's out there running fine. I race mine all the time. But its nice to tell him about beehive springs or not. I think I read that 1995 year was the most problematic

I found some Gen2 4.6 engines in your area zip 33019. But I did find acouple 150 dollar Gen1 engines only 180 miles from you. You CAN use gen1 engine just swap the bolt on parts. http://car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi

You buy engine for 500 pay R&R 500 so 1000 your running. Option 2 buy reman for 2500 then pay 500 to R&R is 3000!!! If used engine goes you can put in 2 more and still break even. Also If remaned goes bad and has to come out they will NOT pay for the R&R. Also Reman will want your old engine as CORE that will add 350ish to price of engine since you don't have a rebuildable core. So 2500 is really 2850.

Edit. I don't know really how damaged old engine is. Just giving you FYI incase.
 
cant find chit for 500, plus i cant keep paying for r/r reguardless what motor i use cheapest used was 850 still need water pump, plugs wires sensors, etc thats nearly 400 alone i wish i could get on the road for 1000, the core is refunded when they deliver and they take it.

What all do you need? I've got a water pump, have most if not all of an engine harness, have some sensors, COP's and whatnot....

Let me know what you need and I'll let you know what I've got, and what I can help you with...

Most of it came off of the engine from my 97 when I swapped in a "new" junkyard engine. I saved almost everything. The water pump I have is pretty new, removed from a junkyard car, I noticed it was new and grabbed it...

Let me know! You won't need anywhere near $400 for it either...

The core is refunded when they get the core in shop and then make sure its rebuildable. I found 2 engines in your area that are 150.
 
I'll think about it. looks like every sensor, plug wires water pump, everything. there's nothing salvageable from my motor, nothing. what sucks the most is i used to be able to do all of it.having to pay anybody aggravates me. i cant even wash the top of my car. i appreciate the lookout though. somethings are better new like the sensors,pump and wires though ill check on the rest

What in the world happened to your engine? Also in area to me means get in truck and drive there and back in 1 day. If thats in the cards I do it. If you bought a junkyard 97-98 pull out you would not have to buy anything they come ready to drop in with all sensors.
 
Or you could hunt CL for another Mark, then spend $400-500 on the stuff you need to just do the r+r yourself
 
Man this woulda been right up Jamies alley in old days(both being in FL). He used to have couple engines sitting under bench. He could RnR engine sleeping I bet.

complete meltdown. I THINK, my temp sensor was on the fritz, i always watch the gauges i would have noticed it rising, doing about 70 in deerfield the check temp came on display with the "bing",i lookback at the gauge, right in the middle.no valve chatter no coolant smell, 5 seconds later the temp gauge moves all at once to pegged, i pull over then the valves start chattering, i get to the right shoulder, it stalls, over.smoke everywhere out the dipstick hole, the air filter, well u see the piston.heads warped . done.
