Update on Engine Search...
Ok I was browsing another board and saw that the website someone referred someone else to for parts was offering engines so I said hey what the heck I'll give them a call. Turns out they have a 20,000 mile 1997 Ford Explorer Engine with the GT-40 Heads
He is asking 750.00 for the long block - I didn't get to detailed but you get the idea... If I buy it I plan on getting a new cam.
But before all that...We are dealing with a 1986 GT here and we are slapping a Explorer engine in the compartment thats like 16 years newer than my engine is. Do any of you know of any major modifications that I will have to make in order for this thing to run right? For example electronic issues between computer and engine...a different wiring setup?
If I have to make major mods Ill just buy a reman'd one for 1350, one thats designed for my car.
Post what you know so I can get this guy an answer.
