It's a 98 EO with a bad motor...well it runs but it sounds like a lifter is smacking a piston I started disassembly to remove the motor. Thats where the questions start for me. 1. Should I rebuild the motor and put it back in the car if thats possible. 2. Put the motor out of my E1 in the EO car 3. Buy an escape motor and do a full oval port motor with SVT cams for the EO? I'm kinda at a crossroads right now but the big decision will come when I get the motor torn apart and see how bad it really is. Just looking for some other peoples input Just want to make sure I'm not going nutz about some of my ideas 06 GMC Sierra 2500HD Dmax/ally 06 Pontiac G6 GT 05 CRF250R FOR SALE 06 KX65 with riding gear $2700 obo

Either way, let me know if I can be of any help. Beer is my Gatorade. Hooray Beer. '98 "Sport" Pacific Green '98 E0 SVT Silver Frost Pictures

Hopefully the motor is fixable...if not I guess I'll drop in the E1 motor and go form there. On a side note I started going through all the reciepts the guy gave me. There where a lot of little annoying recalls on the car. The rear brakes where allrplaced 6 months after he bought the car(calipers.pads rotors brake cables) And the repair bills for replacing the lower control arms and the water pump $1500++ Good lord I feel sick just reading those bills. I got the original window sticker with the car and even his finance paperwork 06 GMC Sierra 2500HD Dmax/ally 06 Pontiac G6 GT 05 CRF250R FOR SALE 06 KX65 with riding gear $2700 obo
