Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but what you've described is going to be an engine replacement. There are a few shops that lurk here, so do your research and best of luck to you. My advice? Buy a used engine from LKQ or another dismantler (with a warranty), get some friends together and swap it out. Oh, and make sure you use only 5w20 or 30 in the future...and leave the burnouts to John Force. -------------------- 1965 Shelby Cobra 1993 Cobra 2012 F150 Raptor 2020 GT500 Posts: 6525 | From: Orlando FL/Redding CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  : Bigtirestang_GT ¯ Member # 14013 posted 2015-05-05 12:25 PM                              Okay cool it sucks I need a new engine but at the same time I could just end up getting something even better then the 2V 4.6 Ima be on the look for a cobra motor -------------------- Erik Gonzalez Posts: 10 | From: Hayward | Registered: Apr 2015  |  : dohcfox ¯ Member # 12829 posted 2015-05-05 02:07 PM                              I have a 4.6 2v for sale. 600$.

I have a video of it running with a manual oil press gauge on it too. Clean motor. Just needs a home in someone's car. -------------------- 97 mustang track car 57 f100 built on 06 Lincoln navigator frame 83 elcamino d.d. 64 ford galaxie Porsche turbo Posts: 139 | Registered: Apr 2013  |  :
