Woohoo it runs and runs well. I am so happy to have it back together. Seams to have more power then the stock tour motor but definately not compareable to my previous setup

THANKS  I am grinning ear to ear right now. I did the swap for under $500 including the engine hoist rental, fluids, sparkplugs ect. The plugs were too expensive at $4.49 a piece for motorcrafts at autozone, they are a different plug then the contour ones.

It looks like I sold the head from the old motor to a local guy. He is the one who is gonna take a video of it starting up ect.
