Well after getting the engine out. Checking out the crank, connecting rods, cam, lifters, push rods, etc...

Pricing machine work, gasket set, hard parts....

I am picking up a $475 used engine from a larger/well known salvage operation.

The engine is from a 2003 with 33k miles and has a 6 month warranty.

The Questions:

• What kind of things should I do before/after the swap?
• Should I clean the intake?
• Should I replace anything on the engine?

Thanks to everyone that posted on "http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...cons/icon5.gif 2002 Mustang 3.8L Appears Seized - is this common?"

This is the next phase of the project.

Thanks in advance
