Assuming my engine takes a crap on me. Im already in the market for a used 4.6. Any suggestions on where to get one. I dont wanna spend more then 2500. Dont have any mech experience either so this will be done by a mechanic. As in having the crate shipped to him.

Incase you have been reading my previous posts about my engine noise. Just talked with my mechanic who told me he had bad news. Said he took the car up to a mechanic who works for ford and they told him Its the connecting rod to the piston banging up against the cylinder head. Said the only way...

Car starts fine cold. No knock or noise. Then I take it out and start to drive in 1st. As I reach 2k and up I hear a repeated knock coming from the engine not a tick or clatter but a deep knock. 2nd gear not as loud as first. As long as i dont take the RPMs up high ill hear nothing. When the...

In the long process of figuring out what kinda shape my newly purchased 99 GT is in. I have noticed that while the engine is cold in first gear at about 2200 RPM's i hear what sounds like a piston knock like do do do do do do. Then after the engine gets up to temp the sound goes away. So far ive...
