  • Tempting...

    A buddy has a 92 SHO Taurus. He said it won't crank. Said it was fine, went to pull it out of the driveway, and it died. Hasn't restarted since.. I can get the whole car for 300.. What's worse is I have an 88 Festiva all gutted and ready for an EFI swap.. Man this is tempting, but I think Inga will have a cow if I try this now. :evil:

              You need to jump on that. You could probably turn it here. Or you could turn it on ebay, or fix it and drive it. Fix it and sell it. Canibalize it, etc. etc. etc.

                      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                        There is no replacement for displacement, except for the turbo in my basement.

                            BuY iT!!!! It's worth it however you look at it. I would probably just flip it myself though. Especially if she's going to throw a fit when she realizes what a big project that would be.. Some extra cash after the fix up would help your cause for the other one's swap... -Kyle

                              Only 85K on the engine? The engine alone is worth 3 or 4 times the price. I'd buy it.
