Bringing my 2002 Roush Stage 2 Mustang GT back to life from a Spun Rod

My car has been down with a spun rod since December so I finally started working on getting it back on the road and figured I would post some pics of the progress as it goes.

As she was before the spun bearing


And during









My oil pickup tube is full of metal shavings. gotta get another one

More pics to come

[winks]

That's cool to see that it's something you can do yourself. Good luck with fixing it up.

Not sure yet I will take a look at it hopefully next weekend when I get back up to the garage. Not going forged right now, hopefully this winter I'm looking forward to possibly getting the modmax forged stroker kit along with cams and boring my old block to a 5.0.... Key word is hopefully. lol

Thanks I will take more as I go.

Well I got most of the replacement motor together and now just have to order my head bolts, head gaskets, oil pan gasket and oil pressure switch and get my motor back in the car.
Also planning to paint my block black with wrinkle red timing cover...

Well here's how she's sitting now (sorry about the small pics)
