    Engine Oil Question

    Error on my end. Spent time on the forum reading about built motors, trying to figure how to to tell if mine is or isn't since the previous owner didn't know or inform me and only held onto the car during the winter.

    Engine Oil Question

    Some better pics of my stang after clearing out my driveway of my wife's car and my daily drivers. Car needs some cosmetic TLC and some misc. work like getting the speedo and odometer to work, fuel gauge, and redo some interior aspects to my taste/liking. Pretty contempt with the motor set...
