Not a good day...

[SamGrant951]

Driving along getting into a turn lane (~20mph), all gauges good - no warning. Marbles. 41k miles-

Second engine Ive blown this year. 1st was a 944 n/a during endurance race. That was much more impressive sounding/looking. This was pretty lame in comparison. Just a bunch of oil on the ground and a bit of smoke. Holes on both sides of the block, Ill get better pics tomorrow.

Dont really have the cash right now for another engine/swap so Ill likely part it or sell as-is. Bummer as I was starting to get attached, was a nice truck.

No shit Stevie Wonder.I meant the landrover color.

How much for the carcass

 

[group captain mandrake]

I'll trade you a '97 Grand Prix daily driver, great runner with 227,000 miles; only thing wrong with it is a broken sway bar.

Don't part that. Hell, the seats look new. Put up a selling price as-is and see what happens.

Drag it to Columbus and I will help you put another engine in it. I even have a set of pistons, rods, and valve covers for a 3.9 you can have.

x2 FRAM probably sucked this engine dry

 

[SamGrant951]

I agree its too nice to part but Im betting its worth more in parts than it is whole with a blown engine. If I decide not to fix it Ill list it up as-is first (likely)

Thank you for the offer group captain, Ill pass at this time.

d1driver - Wow, that is very generous. Thank you...Ill stir on it and contact you after Christmas. Right now my wife wants it gone as its sitting in our driveway but with my a.d.d. car habit she will calm down.

 

[d1driver]

Also forgot about a known good crank shaft I have as well for a 3.9.

Say what? How does that work?

 

[msggunny]

Put a cover on it, save some money and replace the engine.

Nice looking 94. Dont see too many that year that look that good. Keep it or sell it to someone who will take care of it.

The color is a bit on the gay side, but i guess that ok now.....

If its what I'm thinking, they are for a 4.0 but I doubt there is much difference.
