Would this be an OK donor car?

Kuro · July 14th, 2009, 11:57 AM

Looking to do a 4.6L swap into my V6.

Think the engine, tranny, ecu, and rear end are any good out of this

Judging by the giant chip out of the pass rear wheel I would say it looks like she ( the car, not implying that it was a female driver ) slid into a curb a curb at a high rate of sleep and flipped it a couple times... so I would say that axel is most likely shot. The motor and trans are probably alright, but I would find another read end. You could find a better donor car for the money than that. Try looking on craiglist and ebay for motor trans combos.

COparts.com is also a salvage place that you can check.

that made my morning lol

I was thinking the same that it got flipped, or that it got hit by a car in high speed *driver quarterpanel* and its momentum dragged itself against the wall *passenger side fender/door*.

the average person cannot buy from coparts. you have to be a licensed salvage rebuilder or something similar

Anyone know where I can find a 4.6L 3V from an 05+ mustang besides EBAY?

This was my 2.3 -> 5.0 donor car. The only things I needed to replace were the radiator, fan, and drivers side spindle. The A/C condensor that goes in front of the radiator was fine.. and it still works.

04mustang232 · July 14th, 2009, 07:42 PM

Id buy it, fuck it, for 7k, you have one hell of a start (motor trans ecu). Plus you can sell anything you dont need.

Kuro · July 14th, 2009, 09:04 PM

Any one know how much a stripped S197 block weighs?

Or at least the block and rotating assembly?

at least 250 i would say. maybe even 350... why?

dude496 · July 14th, 2009, 11:39 PM

you could check Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market They have a listing of local and national parts. Also Web Page Re-director has a pretty good classified section.

I want to keep the engine in my closet back home while im at school during the year, and I live in a two story house and I dont want the engine messing anything up. I figure if I put some cardboard down, I can just rest the block and heads on the ground, and keep everything else in organized bins. That way I dont have to worry about the block rusting, just keep everything oiled.

Dolbs4082 · July 15th, 2009, 10:42 AM

I've heard of hiding skeletons in the closet. but you sir are sick! haha jp jp. storing your motor in the closet of a 2nd story room... hmmmm i guess it wouldnt weigh more then a dresser so go for it! haha
