So sorry to hear about your problem.

First, we need to know which engine your car has. That year it was available with several choices. I would guess a V6, but we need to know for sure...

There are several pretty active Mustang clubs in your area - have you considered joining? They often are the MOST familiar with your local resources for addressing such problems.

Welcome to the site. I'm guessing your problem would be quickest answered by some of the locals. You can find them on this forum: DM&FF :: Home

There are a lot of people on there doing their own projects, aswell as some fans of the Mustang II platform. They should be able to assist you in getting a proper diagnose, check of what you need, and how to go about obtaining it.

I recall there is a shop in the north of NL that has revisioned blocks for US vehicles as their primary business, but I can't recall their info. I'm sure someone on the forum will be able to throw you that info.

If you do join the forum, be sure to post up an intro thread with pictures. If you don't, be prepared to be asked for 'm

Hope this helps you out somewhat in solving your issues.

Thanks for the assist, Neko. I was hoping you would pop in.

LOL, just noticed that the OP listed the engine in their title!

Too fast for my shirt am I!

No biggie... It got dropped in the 'Europe' forum which pushed it to my e-mail box. And anything in 'Europe' I atleast take a look at

The other post on the 'Introduction' part was missed by me. Mostly cause I only look at intro's specifically noted in the title as non-US, or regarding Silver Mustangs. This one was neither, so I disregarded it on the daily digest of forum topics

Talked to him per e-mail by now, so I figure the local forum will be helpful. That does not exclude anyone reading this and having an answer to the question from remaining quiet tho! If someone here can answer the question, so much the better. More options are always good
