Well, the addiction lives on. My stepdad owned a 92 SC, always loved it to death ... but never got to drive it, went boom and I ended up with a Ford Escort instead. And subsequently bought 5 more.
Now in need of a car, found a great deal on a 1990 SC in the town where my buddy lives. Blown crankshaft, "apparently a low car is not a snowplow". Dude was apparently quite literally using it for a snowplow ... anywho, otherwise, the car looks to be in absolute perfect shape, was babied and taken care of.
Just wanted to post up here and just get the voice of SCCOA, see what you guys think -- the engine's gonna be torn apart this weekend once the car gets towed to his place, but you think it's gonna be a crankshaft change? Or is a whole new engine going to have to be swapped in -- in which case finding an SC engine is apparently rare and difficult, easier to swap in the 5.0L from the Mustang in ...
Voice your opinions, definitely want to know if anyone's got experience here, or ... just thoughts and such, will keep updated with pics when I get them and see how that engine tear-down goes ...
