engine swap or rebuild
purchased an 86 tc signature three weeks ago. 5.0, almost 400,000 on the odometer.
i didnt pay much for it knowing it needed some work, got it just for fun and the plan on it after some work being a reliable car. sweet ride.
serpentine belt broke on the way to the shop and overheated.
it didnt pass emmissions -failed pretty hard due to blow by of the piston rings due to high milage.
i just need some info on what engines and parts are swappable for this car. im thinknig about storing it for a while and getting a replacement block and pistons for a quick and cost effective swap that i wont be dioing myself. that way i can pick the parts myself that go in, and avoid some labour cost of having the old engine torn down and bored.
i will be contacting local shops and scrap yards for parts... problably next month, as theres a fresh foot of snow on the ground.
any parts you reccomend?
can i take any 5.0 mustang block?
