Buy the motor whole?

SSteady98 · October 29th, 2010, 05:17 PM

so now that i have some new wheels on the car, i think i can move on to getting performance parts in the future, that being the split port swap up first.

would it be better to just buy the entire 99-04 motor out of a mustang for 500$, build it up on a stand, and when youve pretty much got it good drop it in the car later? whats all of yalls opinion on this.

do you see yourself with this car in 1yr, 2yrs, 5yrs, 10yrs ??
yes yes yes yes yes

then why not, be easy to work on that way for sure.

thats what im doing, if all goes well im getting a complete 00 motor for $200 in a few weeks, then i will tear it down sell everything i dont need and put in a stroker kit over the winter.

i think you will have to do something with your fuel setup though as the 99-04 uses a different system. Someone else can explain more about that though.

That is cheap! Im assuming used right? how many miles.

southfour! · October 29th, 2010, 10:41 PM

from the sellers add

"well times are getting tougher and tougher, i cannot afford to get my 4.2 storker project under way, it would be so long until i can get to it, its not costing me anything sitting here but i could use the money. im broke. bottom line. so up forsale!

Ross Forged 4.2 pistons .030
Forged connecting rods
4.2 Crank
Gapless piston rings (NEW-$200, have receipt)

the pistons and rods have been used, i bought them that way, they have i believe 3k miles on them. the crank and rings are new also, i believe i have rod bearings that ill throw in with it, im selling as a kit or not at all, like i said i dont need to sell but i figured id post it and see...its been really tough times and its killing me not to be able to upgrade the stang.

price is $1000 obo, i know the morana v6 stroker kit is like $2300 new."

2000stallion · October 29th, 2010, 10:48 PM

The morana kit is what i was seeing. Ssms doesnt sell kits do they?

SSteady98 · October 30th, 2010, 02:31 AM

Okay, well that will be my main focus aspect of the car then. that and a turbo. build that damn motor up, get a turbo, a rear end, and ill be good. THAT and some good linkage setup stuff underneath it and hell, itll be a damn fine car. thanks for your opinion guys, it really does help.

i-bought-a-v6 · October 30th, 2010, 09:04 PM

That's my plan too, once I save up I will do it over during summer break. But only if I find a cheap turbo kit and 4.2.
Definitely write it up once you do it.

SSMS sells full motors, bottom ends, rotating assemblies, or part by part.
