Long story short my 99 GT has a 101K miles on it.
I blew a spark plug out of one of the heads. Shop was able to fix that but told me that I have low compression in 4 of the eight cylinders (~90 psi) vs the 150 psi in the rest of the cylinders.
Was looking on the frpp website for a good crate engine. But nothing I found which was reasonable. Any suggestions? Try junk yards for a similar used engine for the car?
I wasnt looking to dump a ton of money into the car, I always had the dream of supercharging it, But I don't if it is worth it at this point.
The car was side swiped in a hit and run on the passenger side a few weeks before so the paint/body is in a bit of a tough shape now.
So
Any good crate engines out there?
Is it worth having the current engine rebuilt? Doesnt sound like it will be cheap.
Craigslist/ebay? Been looking nothing outstanding.
