Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches W. Great Lakes Super Swap Saturday 10/22

Why didn't you just use a 3L block?

cuz the 3L in my garage is going into my Cougar... it was super tempting seeing as how I have a ton of sponsored goodies for that build but we decided to just rebuild the SVT to its original specs right now..

Just as an update.. got a call from the engine shop.. the crank was cracked completely thru the entire length after they magna flux checked it.. he offered to sell me a remanufactured crank w/bearings for 200 but I said screw it..

we tore apart the entire bottom of that 2.5 sitting in my garage and snagged the crank.. I was hoping to keep it all together and sell it as a complete engine but it looks like I need to part it out now.. anyone looking for anything in particular... I bought an entire cradle up with front axels for 700.00 about 6 months ago so we could do a tranny swap on the Coug.

hmmm.. powered by Mark?
