Sounds like your guy knows his stuff, you should be good to go........

 

This may be a good time to clean or paint anything under the hood if you had the chance. And yes we do need to see lots of pics.

 

sounds like youll be good. have fun with the new engine!

 

Just got home from visiting her in the shopital.

He got her an engine, it wasn't the one we spoke about from the 6th gen. Instead its from a 01 lesabre. Still a 3800, he just has to swap a few things like the oil pan, intake manifods, and hermonic balancer. He just finished the swap on a 02 intimidator clone and he's using a bunch of the parts from that engine to make everything right.

The lesabre had 59000 miles when the engine was pulled. Im getting OEM plugs, wires, and a few other things.

 

glad to hear you got it figured out man, can't wait to see it finished up...

 

59K man that is awsome,

 

Hi Dustin, WoW great that he found a lower miled engine...
It's not even broke `in LOL
Wish you the best & I hope everything works out 4 U & Eleanor... May U both have many happy/fun/safe miles 2gether when you hit your highways again : )

 

^ I will... but ill def. Be easier on her than I was with the old engine... call it" a lesson learned"

I know it overheated, but I think flooring it more than needed played its hand as well.

 

miliage on it and who know how the previouse owner maintained it is aldo a big factor

 

Sounds like a great find on the engine, Dustin! Good job. Glad to hear it's working out well. Keep us posted once you get the car back.
