From Car-Parts and from talking to the manager of the salvage yard on the phone he told me I was buying a 2001 Taurus engine with 11k on it. After looking at it and bringing it home I thought I had a 2001 engine. Thanks to Buckshot he noticed the absence of the water pump on the front right side. Now I have to call a place that doesnâ�?��?�t speak English and wonâ�?��?�t give cash refunds to explain that they sold me the wrong motor. The engine has a date on it of 01/25/00. This really sucks. I got my entire garage organized and clean. Not sure what I am going to do now. Any suggestions? I could use a hug. 3L process done

This is what the engine looks like: Since its a 2000, the only modification i would have to do is get a different water pump correct? Or should i go try to return the engine and if they wont give me my money then go to legal actions with false advertisement? 3L process done

If I take it back most likely I will get store credit at a Plymouth and Chrysler salvage yard. That engine was the last Ford thing they carried. 3L process done

That engine was the last Ford thing they carried. well i would say .... umm being new to the 3.0 swap .. work with another water pump if you can .. also work on that oval port swap... who knows if not tell them you will get a lawyer, do you have papers saying it is an 01 taurus motor if so they sold you the motor under false pretenses and you will result to legal action and you will also sew for driving cast and loss wages cuz you took time off work .. that just a little dirty info .. i did take pre law classes in college.. anyway good luck be easy ...
