I have a 99 mustang 3.8 my mechanic says it needs a camshaft. I can not find a stock replacement . I have looked at all the normal places and online with no results. Where can i locate one.
I personally would like to hear the back story on this one. I'm confused in HOW the cam shaft has failed and it's the only part needed. Because frankly I would have thought anything that would take out the cam shaft itself would also need a complete timing set as part of the repair.
IMO that's a lot of $$ if the goal is to just fix the motor for DD use. If this were my project I would consider buying a WHOLE salvage yard motor and raid it for parts. This option has the advantage that IF it turns out to need additional parts, there's a ready supply.
Depending upon what's wrong with the original engine, maybe a whole replacement is a better option.
