well the seven hour drive was to pick that up for a cheap as 165$ and i got it in been a all day adventure because others were being impatient as all he ll about stuff but yea i think its kinda funny who ever said you needed a truck to haul heavy things? just get a car with a giant trunk and you can do the same thing lmfao

ya know the guy i bought it from didnt really know much about it says it was out of a work truck cant member what for guessed it had prolly bout 150k on it pulled the motor cause his brother wrapped the truck around a tree and has been sitting since has no oil in it turns over by hand really easy sticker on valve cover says sep of 83. injectors are d codes all matching injectors and says that the ip had been rebuilt. havent gotten much else done with it besides stabbing it and bolting up the trans i would be out there riht now but my tools are else where which doesnt help my cause at all and yes that is a air compressor on it too which means trains horns here i come to scare the **** out of people that pull out in front of me. but other than that its covered in oil coated dirt. had no cdr. leaves all over the place on it. the lift pump arm was missing. couldnt find it in the bottom of the motor. idk what else to tell you about it other than someone pulled the vacum pump off it and it had no gp harness on it but i got all that so im not too worried and worst comes to worse if it doesnt work i got PLENTY of extra stuff so i could get at least one working motor out of it.

and yea when i seen this thing the only thing i could think of yea its gonna fit uh huh that was the only thing i thought about. i forgot that cars werent meant to be hauling around 900lbs + you did anything more than 60 it got the speed wabbles and least to say it was a interesting day for sure. but ya know at least i got it and made it back it didnt much like the canyon i had to climb to get back home but it made it without stopping but loved the coast on the way back down. that car has the same motor in it that ford stuck in there 93-95 i wanna say mustangs. and even with that load in it i still coulda roasted the **** outta the tire but yea i hadda do what i hadda do its not like i had a truck to use so ha lets say my mom didnt really know what i was getting into i told her i was going to get a motor for my truck . < lmfao great epic day
