Mate tell you the truth not very often at all I can't even remember the last time hey it was that long ago and maybe once. The previous may have I don't know. Once to many it musta been but.

If you shutdown the engine fast enough there may be minimal damage

second hand late FG f6 engine from wreckers.

leaves you plenty of coin to re sell and work on the house

easy swap over no down time rebuilding engines

Yeah that is true but I thnk if I do with a f6 engine I'll wanna keep it and make more power plus the misses said if we spend more coin on it we gotta keep it forever which I don't mind at all.

If minimal damage is done I'll keep it and freshen up with what it needs and put it in my ba when that engine goes and just drive xr6 turbos for the next 15 years haha

[bossmang]

in that case most guys buy f6 short from ford or whatever and re build from there.

good luck

There are some brand new f6 shorts still on ebay.

If your going to strip and replace everything a cheaper option may be buying a na or taxi engine from a wrecker. The guys at northmead auto have been doing this with good results and cheaply. I think tbre do this as well.

I'll give those guys a ring and have a chat with them. I do like the fact f6 short motor is built kinda already and you just add some good bits

from memory the na engines didnt last that long lol

LPG engine if you are trying to do it on the cheap

Nothing stopping you buying a good condition BA BF non turbo engine for $150, stripping it of the parts that are broken on your current engine.

Oil pump, timing, crank, all same same
