Got it from a place called "U-Pull-It" for $150 out of an '87 Crown Vic Marshal's Dept. police car. U-Pull-It is a place where they scrap metal (vehicles), it's not "officially" a junk yard business, but they basically make extra money on the side by selling the parts off of the cars before crushing them. That's why they can sell parts so cheap. I knew the engine would be in good shape since those police cars are serviced regularly.
Anyway, got it cleaned up (new pistons), replaced intake, carburetor, water pump, distributer, fan, added radiator, headers, and a few other things and I was on my way.
