?!?!

I got a small delima. I have a 96 f-150 eddie bauer 4X2 5.0 that got wrecked and the front end is basically like a crushed coke can. Neighbor gots a 92 f-150 XLT 4X2 5.8 and has no idea why its leaking water so he is giving it to for 300 bucks. now the eddie bauer has a good engine in it with only 90,000 miles and a new transmission should i swap it or hold on to it and figuere out whats wrong with the water leaker? I have not posted much on this place so some tips on this would be great thanks

hahahah i like your style...

id say fix the leak way easier than an engine swap...the hardest water leak i could possible think of would be a head gasket(s), whole $25 part $40 for a good one but about 12 hrs. of labor if you have the slightest clue what you are doing...gotta do the one on the 300 soon
