Looking for a new motor

BDaily · January 18th, 2010, 10:42 PM

Hey everyone, so my car just spun a rod bearing. I might not need a new motor but in case i do where can i get just a stock 2v for the lowest price? I have a warranty on the car but im looking just in case i need to buy one myself.

Thanks
Bryan

you can get the short block off a lot of cars like crown vics, f150s but those are usually windsor motors, npi mustangs. check craigslist for those motors

Im talking about like a new shortblock.

GrnBullitt08 · January 18th, 2010, 10:51 PM

check around ebay or craigs list...those will be your cheapest way.

GrnBullitt08 · January 18th, 2010, 10:52 PM

doesnt sound like you have alot of money to burn, so upgrading isnt an option.

BDaily · January 18th, 2010, 10:57 PM

Yea upgrading is not an option right now.

Mustang03 · January 18th, 2010, 10:59 PM

yeah forget a new one those are more then your probably willing to spend. I would say get a used shortblock and either rebuild it or just run it as is

BDaily · January 18th, 2010, 11:06 PM

Problem being that my car as it sits only has 72k miles on it. It should be covered over warranty so im not worried.

GrnBullitt08 · January 19th, 2010, 12:11 AM

I would be surprised if they will uphold that warranty with those mods...

I myself would find a short block from a NPI and put your top half on it

i had the same issue last year. i looked around on craigslist for a while for new motors and i ended up finding a 02 interceptor engine that was PI. Swapped that mug in and it runs great! CRAIGSLIST

You could look for people around here that are building new engines and see if their old one is worth buying. Either that or craigslist. How much do stock shortblocks and stock longblocks in good condition usually go for?
