Hey all I think my most affordable and reliable option now is to put a low milage used (Or possibly a good deal on a new long block) PI engine in my 97 GT. Looking to spend around 1200 or less... I've found a complete almost no miles engine is less than doing a headswap on my car.
I have rebuilt the trans, done many suspension repairs, put new tires and fresh rims on it, and the only weak link left is the engine which burns oil massively.
I know I have to add one hole to mount an ECT sensor, but other than that I believe the engines are essentially identical (in terms of installation)
I can't get the engine now as I'm ready to buy my beater, but I'll be getting the engine next summer. I had to laugh when I looked at ebay and saw a police interceptor engine with 9000 miles on it out of a WRECKED cop car... that would be ironic to drop that in my car
any input, please let me know, you guys are very helpful on this forum!
