I'm sure most of you all know about my bad luck last week, so I was wondering if anyone had an engine kicking around or has contacts to get one. Sean I
know you have 3, why you have 3 I don't know, but I do have some beer in the fridge if you ever wanted to tell. I was also thinking about doing a 5.0
converion into it, but need some info on that idea.

Ahh yes the three engine saga.
Engine one: out of the car on a stand. Came from the Cougar. 220,000 kms ran well but when the motor mounts dropped the engine onto the k member it sounded like a broken rod. When i started it after having it towed home a whole bunch of oil dropped onto the driveway. John was on his way to Vancouver in like three days so I bought an engine from him and he brought it out. After getting the engine home I pulled the one from the Cougar and lo and behold no dropped rod just a couple of destroyed motor mounts and a oil filter that sprung a leak from hitting the k-member. Engine 2: Still in Cougar. This is the engine i got from John. Runs well. The Cougar is getting parted out due to suspension and body work issues. (It was my first attempt at body work on a car that was so rusty it should never had been in my driveway.). Engine 3: Came with the new 'Bird but i haven't got it at my place yet. So I don't know anything about it. Let me know if you are interested. Next time I make a sales trip to AB we can drink that beer.

I got almost everything needed to do the 5.0 swap and i can get a good 5.0 out of a cougar too if it is still available. I also have 5.0 performance parts,
heads ect. I can pick the car up and bring it to my shop and do it if you like. I also know of a good 2000 4r70w trans if needed, it is alot better than what
came in your car, unless its a five speed..
