I wanna just DIE right now!!!
 
My Mustang needs a new motor. Do I really need to say any more?:mad:

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D*** it to h***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, but I just found out like half an hour ago, and I haven't really settled down, and I LOOOOVE my car. :( So I'm feeling pretty bad right now.

It WAS a 97 3.8 until the crankshaft, and rod bearings went out on it. If anything good can come from this, it's me getting a new Mustang with a 5.0, or a 4.6!!! My week has already been awful, and now THIS crap happens. Wish me luck ya'll.

Dang!. Sorry Dude. When my fan blade came off and busted my radiator while I was racing my friends CBR 900RR, I was pissed and highly upset, and everything else, but I used it as an excuse to FINALLY buy my Fluidyne aluminum radiator and electric fan :D. Hope things work out for you man.

Sorry to hear about that. Too bad its not a 5.0, I have my origion one with just 100k on it, in the garage. I would have sold it to you for $500, complete(minus ignition). Go get yourself a reasonably priced 5.0 or new 4.6 with the 0% interest. Good luck, Rick

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You are about to embark on the most killer journey of your life, so far!

You will look back on this time as the beginning of what will become a very fun period, a new door opening, in your life, and I want to be the first to congratulate you on reaching it.

You are just on the verge of recognizing it.

I am extremely jealous!

:)

Take care,
ÅChris

Feelin' for ya' Boss!
 
I'm, feelin' for ya' Boss. I'm a proud owner of a White 1998 3.8L. He has 94,000 miles and running strong. (Knock on wood). How many miles did you got on your 97 before Armageadon happened?

Opportunity to improve though! Good Luck and my condolences on your loss. :(

Thanks for all the kind words everybody. I need um. It's been 7 days since I've driven my stang. Oh man I need a fix BAD ya know?

I went to 9...count em.....9 different car lots today looking for a 4.6, or a 5.0, and didn't find a one.:mad: But I'm not gonna give up. There are still plenty more to check at.

I'm not too sure about putting a 4.6 in it. How much work would that involve?

I've never heard anybody congratulate someone on a messed up engine Chris, and I'm not too sure what ya mean. But it did make me laugh.:D Thanks!!

The car had around 56,000 miles on it, and I really tried to take care of it. It's been a little over a year since I bought it. It had 43,000 miles on it at that time. I guess it's just one of those things, but it seems like when it rains it pours unfortunately.:(
