lightshow showed up at my house with a massive rod knock and a new 04' taurus 3L with 22k. heres a picture of the poor 2.5. i started it up today to see if it got worse than a few days ago and after a few minutes of idle time i revved it once and i heard a shattering sound and the engine died and wont restart. more pictures to come.

I met Adam down here near the house, was a cool guy easy to talk to. 'm sure the 3L will be well worth the wait. Hmmmm maybe I can talk him in to letting me take it for a spin when he's all done:cool:
 
here they are.the motor is only held in by the two top motor mounts. i didnt feel like pulling it tonight.

I hope your not doing his swap

As Bagged said,why not?Shaved had the motor ready to be pulled in less than an hour and a half.And started preping the new one.I'm going over there today as well to finish pulling it.Very skilled individual.He could have it done by monday,but we're probably gonna have to wait on parts.Which reminds me,anyone have any usable non stock tranny parts they can help with.Clutch,diff,ect..
