im going to go back soon (midterm week) and ask if he can get a loan.

[ChuckD]

Why not just get an Explorer 4.6 and put in it? Yes you will have to get a wiring harness but thats an idea.

The life expectancy of any car is anywhere from 1 mile to 600,000 thousand depending on many variables such as stupidity of driver like if he changes the oil or does any maint. I have put an motor in a 98 Chevy truck with only 42,000 thousand miles on it. They said they changed the oil every 3,000 so maybe there was a problem in the machining process. Who knows man. I had Toyota Camry's with 400,000 miles come in the shop when I worked for Toyota and seemed like brand new.

so the GT has already sold....

Ok during the winter look on www.car-part.com find you an Explorer 4.6, then a GT harness, and a tranny of your choice auto or manual. Put in and boom you got a V8. Be gentle on it for a while then get you an 8.8 to put in there. Then your car is paid for it will run good and best of all your only paying insurance on a V6. Tell me where this is a bad idea.

I say you should hold off until you can afford something else. If you don't have more money to put into a car, do you really think buying a car that's going to consume more gas, possibly carry higher insurance costs, generally involve a little more maintenance, etc.
