Locally there is a 2003 Expy, 5.4, leather, front/rear heat, tow pkg that has what owner says is a stuck engine. I believe it has close to 100,000 miles. She wants to get rid of it before the city makes her move it. What is something like this worth? I thought of offering $1,000 then putting junkyard engine in it to sell for a profit. How tough is this engine replacement job? It can come out the top right? I've got the engine hoist and the tools.

 

you can do real easily offer her a grand and see what she says

 

you might have to pull the front clip apart. give you more room to yank the motor.


but yeah, this is a super easy job. I'd just be concerned about her diagnostic abilities. Is it electrical, mechanical...both.



but for $1,000...you can't go wrong IMO. the tranny alone would offset 1/2 that cost if you had to part the Expy out


go for it.

 

If she takes $1k thats a deal. Parting it out will get that plus imo

 

Thanks. I'd like to get it for 1,000 and find out it's a stuck starter. I know thats wishful thinking but let's hope it goes well.
