I bought me a new engine for my car today. All I need is a wiring harness, motor mounts, and a new fuel pump.
I bought a 302 5.0L out of a 89 GT, and it is in top condition. I got the COMPLETE Engine, and ECM. Fuel Rail, Injectors, everything.
I got everything for $700, and he is going to help me drop it in my car.
I'm picking up the engine next week, and then its getting dropped in probably around March, after the snow is done.
w00t!!!!

i recommend rebuilding cuz you never know... and you would hate to drop it in and have issues soon after... no matter if you know the guy who you got it from really good that still doesnt make the motor solid... just best to take precautions.
