Hey guys,
my 00 stang has unfortionatley developed a terminal rod knock (n/a, under 60k! miles) its time for a new motor, There are alot of choices, what are your suggestions for a new/used motor swap? 4.6/281 SOHC or change it up? I'm looking for the best bang for my buck, I'm thinking I will replace the motor thats in there and then use the old one as a project engine, I haven't built an engine before, but I have taken several engines appart, would it be worth building an engine or having one built?
I want to consider future projects like turbo(s) but also get the stang back on the road in a reasonable amount of time
I greatly appreciate your help!
