^ sell those wheels and you will have enough money!

 

[atistang]

I really dont want to trade the car. But a rebuild out of pocket is going to be money. Parts, labor, +snowball effect(clutch etc etc). Still weighing my options.

are you able to do any of the work yourself?

if you can it shouldnt be too bad. probably equal out to how much you will lose on a trade in

Most of it yes, not very familiar with the mod motors putting them together, I'm a sbf guy lol. I'd do all dissy, and probably have a shop do the motor and plug it back into the car that parts easy!

if you got an engine stand and the tools its probably not that bad if you take your time

Agreed, but i think I'd feel a bit safer if someone that puts them together often did it. I'm thinking if i do the shortblock, i may do heads/cams as well.

[try03venom]

[ed209]

Yup, for sale. Pulled the plug on it last night, looked good, ran a compression test on it and it was within 10pts of all the other cylinders(#5 was ~10 as well so not too worried). I honestly have no idea what could have triggered the code, other than going to a different gas station, which I would have never guessed would have done it. All things point to it being ok, but Im still weirded out. I have over 200 miles on it since, no smoke, not weird noise, no shake, nothing.

Is it possible to tune commanded more fuel to prevent failure #8, that it caused fouling?

Possibly? I honestly couldnt tell ya man. Im about as dumbstruck as anybody lol.

 

[KIOTE 5O]

Thats good to hear glad it was a simple fix.

 

[94Gt5.0]

Going to sell this and go for a '13-14 GT500 I think..

 

[stang8psi]

man i would hate for you to get a buyer and that light come on and they take it to a dealer and have them deny their warranty because you didn't disclose the car had a tune and threw a #8 misfire code!!! hopefully it won't land you in a court battle. I would be careful about not disclosing info and or posting bad /false info.. Just a word to the wise!

 

[94Gt5.0]

Oh no worries that will be brought up, not looking to hide anything, and its not like there is anything wrong with it at the time being as far as I know. If they arent comfortable with it, they wont buy it simple as that. Have the price set a little lower on it than what I would normally ask too just in case.

 

[Sosick]

Be careful. When this happened to me my 5 and 8 were cracked... Didn't know until Ford pulled it apart.

 

[me32]

Good luck man.

It is called a Bill of Sale with a disclaimer regarding warranties of any kind being offered by the seller. Caveat Emptor.
