Re: Need a motor

Junkyard maybe? Craigslist? Either way it would be wise to have the motor remachined. And you already have a block. What happened to yours? How is it blown?

Re: Need a motor

Try to find a 3.4L from a '93-'95 F-car. Be sure to get the injectors and flywheel or flexplate.
It's a painless upgrade.
