dont just look for the mustang motors. You can get you a low mileage F150 motor to put in there. Maybe out of a 06 or 07 model with maybe 30-50K miles on it for about 1K, give or take.

As long as it's an 01+ 2 valve Romeo you can make it fit, just need to swap the timing cover.Originally posted by musclestang89 View Postdont just look for the mustang motors.

Well, I hope you used some threadlock on those plugs this time. LMAO!Originally posted by 2K2 LS1 View PostNot a blown motor!
Apparently I am the only one to not know these motors like to back the plugs out and blow them out of the head with the coil pack. Got it home saw that is what happened. Reinstalled the plug and coil and started up like a champ!

Sitting in the driveway. Getting a new coil pack for the one that broke. Since it started and ran fine; but the plastic part that you screw into the valve covers is broken. Will do all new plugs at that time and thread lock all them mf'ers! Still getting rid of the car after a good detailing and a couple cosmetic fixes.Originally posted by Denny View PostWell, I hope you used some threadlock on those plugs this time. LMAO!

If I didn't know that you ran it without pills in the line, I would take it off your hands.Originally posted by 2K2 LS1 View PostSitting in the driveway.

How about try doing it the right way instead of being silly. 4.6/5.4 mod motors like to spit out plugs. The 5.4 lightning did it so often they revised the heads to increase the thread count on the last two production years to address this issue.Originally posted by 2K2 LS1 View PostSitting in the driveway.

Don't put thread lock on spark plugs that go in an aluminum head. Use anti-seize on the spark plug and go purchase a Ford 4.6/5.4 time-sert kit and fix what's actually broken. If it happened to you, then your threading is probably stripped or damaged to some degree. It's not that hard to do, inexpensive, and in some cases is a permanent fix. Or try switching to a fully threaded plug.
