Good point, I've had my stang for over 10 yrs, I've done alot of work on it but no motor swaps or anything, haven't had the funds yet, unfortionatley I had the spark plug thread problem on 2 cylinders, one at about 52k and the other at 57k miles, it was running pretty good up until the rod...

don't the 2k5 romeos have pi heads? the aluminum block sounds good to me, they aren't as easy to find though... any recomendations on flywheel and clutch...

I tried the local ford dealership to see if they could give me any info and the parts guy said it won't work, I have a hard time believing them though cus I wouldn't consider them experts on any level. I don't even think he knew what I was talking about! I've seen a bunch of articles on engine...

Hey guys, it seems pretty easy to find a replacement from another type of car as listed above, a buddy told me that it will be a pita to swap because everything has to be swapped over and I'll need a bunch of new gaskets and such that will end up costing alot of money, and also that they...

Thanks Again for all the great responses, I found a few used 4.6 engines that I'm looking at, not sure what to offer, what is a reasonable price for a used 4.6L 2v sohc stang engine with ~60k miles? (should I look for lower mileage?) I'm thinking used engine to get back on the road, then...

I do have most of the tools needed and if not I have some friends I can borrow them from, what about getting a short block with forged internals like this: 4.6 Base Modular and reusing parts off the old motor to complete it? I found a bullet engine with 62k, is it worth making an...

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...

Thats strange When is the last time you changed your sparkplugs? Even if your gaps are off that could be part of the problem. If its not the fuel its probably something with the ignition. Does it run alright when you drive it?

could be a bad battery It sounds like it might be a bad battery, you can get it tested for free at autozone. Just testing if it has juice doesn't always work. I had a problem in my daily driver with the battery it would jump, run and then it would die driving down the road. I tested the...

There is a knocking sound coming from my 00gt engine. I tried the short out each coil method and found that the front left (from drivers seat) made more noise when shorted. Its a pretty noticable knocking sound as soon as the engine starts, with higher rpms it goes faster. Does this sound like a...

The cooler thermostat will make your fan kick on at 160 instead of 180, the benifits are a slightly cooler motor, a few more hp and with that I would assume a very slight increase in mpg, this is because the engine is more efficient at a little bit lower temp than stock.

Redline is good oil, I personally prefer Royal Purple, and I could notice a small boost in power

I think they are the same, there are only very small differences, most of them are cosmetic like hood scoops, and fancier radio....

the best thing you can do is get some NGK copper plugs, spark plugs won't make that much difference

go for the eibachs, they worked out great on my 00' GT

doubt it, try changing the sparkplugs, and putting some fuel injector cleaner in, sometimes that will do the trick

if the 1000 is leaving scratches in the clearcoat, you should use a finer grain, and then buff the rest out

your good up to 150 hp with the stock motor

The mufflers could be shot, but it sounds like you have a definate leak, you should look into getting and aftermarket h or xpipe and a new catback, that should tone up your exhaust sound, and give you a few ponies

check the brakes, the dust cover, and make sure you have the bushings in there for the springs
