Blew the head gasket, Rear water ports were clogged shut. Had split and cracked valve intake. I knew I had low compression there. So with money being tight what way should I go?
Rebuild the 289 and shes down till its done.
Find a rebuilt 302 or 351. And slap it in.
Stroke the 289 to 331?
Any advice been there did this tips suggestions? Ideas
I saw a 4.6 out pf an 02 Crown Vic with ecu cheap?
Thanks
