I think I would just look for the whole Mark instead.

It's amazing what some people think they "know" about these engines. Same engine from the '96-'02 Cobra? 295hp? :lol:

He's either retarded or just being a typical salesman.

 

[NoLimit95]

I vote retarded.

 

[Markviiiedrea]

Man I wish I could get those kind of prices for that motor. I'm lucky to get half that.

 

[chris2523]

ignorant, or misinformed.

Would this fit on a Mark and if so, would it make any difference?

You can get $500 for the motor alone, so the package deal isn't TOO far off. He's given himself wiggle room for the low baller. Sounds like just a misinformed individual on the specs of what exactly the motor is

And WTF is that random wiring draped over the alternator and driver's side valve cover Looks like chit if u ask me If he puts a decimal point in the price I'd consider. LOL

No wont fit, yes it'll make a difference in that it'll be something else in the way adding weight

No a mustang is actually wider to the towers, and no strut tower braces don't make a huge difference on these cars.

You wont get that up here in the northland

Just figured I'd ask. Never know what fits what and what will help what.

 

[Sapperfire]

You will if the person buying an engine wants their car to run again. I can get $250 for one with blown head gaskets lol... you northern people and your snow aren't making me want to head that way again any time soon

 

[lobird91]

I see clean Teksids go for over 300 on the mustang forums all the time.

[UltimateSVT]

I think the guy could be misinformed or acting as if misinformed. Sad thing is that not everyone is as informed as we are so someone will indeed fall for it.

It won't fit as-is but I have thought about modifying one for the Mark. It could possibly reduce some flexiness when combined with other chassis braces. It sure works on the Mustang Cobra. The Fox (yeah, I know it's an SN95, but that's just a "slightly" modified Fox) chassis is so flexible it's almost laughable. If our Cobra didn't have that strut tower brace and the X-brace under the K-member, the cowl shake alone would probably shatter the windshield the first pothole it hits.

True. And that's because the MN12 platform was originally designed to accept the 3.8L V-6. When that chassis was designed, Ford had no intention of putting a V-8 in it. Especially not one as wide as the DOHC 4.6L. Back in the 1980's, Ford (and pretty much everyone else) thought the V-8 was dead. Good thing they were wrong
