Hey everyone, I recently had a built 5.4 engine with a T76 turbo kit bolted on it stolen out of my garage the other night along with a lot of other parts. If you see anything up for sale like a built 5.4 engine, one-off sheet metal 5.4 intake, or 5.4 T76 turbo setup would you please direct me to the item so I can try and find this crap. I'm sure whoever jacked this stuff will try and sell it on ebay. Stuff was stolen from Sarasota, FL. I'll try to find some pix and get them up soon. Thanks in advance.
wholly crap, i'd go scarface on his ass if i saw some guy w/ a crappy 84 nissan pickup and my 5.4 in the bed.
"Now we'll see who finishes first Ricky Bobby! Stealing your motor gets my husband Gregory and I even closer to retiring to Stockholm and developing a currency for dogs and cats to use. " seriously though, this sucks hope you're able to catch whoever did this
Will do. Hope you get it back or it's covered under homeowners insurance. Since it was in the garage, check your policy.
Wow, that really sucks, good luck with finding out who it was... edit: I've posted a link to this thread on a few other forums I visit... hopefully that will help.
It would be wise to post this same thread in the SouthEast section here too http://forums.stangnet.com/forumdisplay.php?f=37
might of been one of youre friends because i dont think some random person is going to steal an engine it take preparation....or one of your friends told some one about it
lol... I joined just for this thread... Well first off the motor should have a VIN# on it... You may want to (if you haven't yet) report that stolen. That way if the motor comes up (or even the block), they'll have history as to who sold it, or maybe even catch the guy trying to sell it... so you may get lucky and find the person... but truthfully, I seriously doubt it... Who ever stole it knew it was there, they knew how to get it, so odds are they know you and you know them... you may want to do some detective work of your own... And if the person that stole it is smart... He'll strip the motor, sell it part by part, and scrap the block... If he does that, your ****ed... **** luck man... hopefully ya'll catch the ****... ever see that show on discovery "It Takes a Thief" ? lol
That sucks man. I'll keep a look out and put the word out with my friends. I know some people who do swap meets and stuff around here.
OMG someone needs to find this. I was gettin the blower off his old motor when this new one was going in.... amnit:
True on someone knowing about this project. Good luck. Good thing they didn't steal your avatar or the girl in it. WOW!
maybe youre gunna be on overhaulin' good luck with finding it, im browsing ebay motors every day for it
Ditto - Me and 03 will keep our eyes peeled up in the Tampa Bay area. I really have to believe it was someone who new the motor was there...I can't imagine this was random.
you sure you didnt just misplace it? sry to hear about ur motor, i also agree it was some dirtball who knew it was there, someone who probably helped work on it. i really hope you get your stuff back.
