bought a motor today

i stopped at a truck yard today to look for some 5.0 explorer engine brackets for a job..........i paid for those and asked how much for the engine..........they said they didnt know if it ran, cause the truck had a ruptured gas tank.
so i asked them how much, and he said 200 bucks.......i left 100 for a deposit and they are pulling the engine in the morning......it's a 302 from a 97 exploder :rock: somebody up there likes me

thats a great deal :rock:

[mrltd]

Damn. Good deal. 97 doesn't have EGR..But wow. Good deal.

nice!!!!!!!

Do you know if the ignition on those is stand alone??? Id like the evolve

[gadget73]

Nice!

Pete: I know they use a coil pack and a fake distributor thats just a pickup, but I'd suspect its integrated with the ECM. Would be really interesting if its not though. Must check into this. It would look cool on the Towncar

[Southern_Pride]

Lucky bastard. Congrats though.

Thats worth it for the heads alone!

[DuceAnAHalf]

this is a easy to do stand alone ignition

[gadget73]

Still use a distributor with that. Personally I think coil packs would be neat, if not the most practical. No idea how you'd implement it tho.

They are all over the place for $500 or less.

i like how they did not take the motor mount off, just cut the bracket off the frame. just drop it in the TC like that and weld the brackets to your frame.
