I see engines with .3 extra liters of displacement for $450 all the time..........
Yea, or maybe some ATF in the cylinders for a while? Like pour some in the cylinders and let it sit a week?If the engine wasn't running for a long time is it possible the piston rings are frozen/siezed and maybe some seafoam or marvel mystery oil can get them unstuck?
It was more of a joke, that car might be too nice/untouched to LS swap.Send links my way!

When did the P heads come on explorers? They had a different plug angle and had trouble clearing some exhaust manifolds. Shouldn't need 24s going to an explorer motor should you? ?
Gm top end clean, pull spark plugs spray in the hole generously, let it sit over night, run it the next day and check compression againI heard this idea as well from Nate... I've never seafoamed an engine before. I'll have to see what it entails...
Shouldve bought my 427, wouldve solved all these issues.
It wasn’t THAT fast!Update
Turns out its something easy. Something called compression. I'm lacking it... looks like probably 4cyl are down various amounts. Huge thanks to Nate for his expertise and willingness to look over this car for issues. His knowledge and tools were invaluable in finding the issue quickly.
SOOOOO.... I'll be tossing an engine into this car!
Anyone know what years I can surf that'll work as a transplant motor? I was looking for Explorer engines. Found a 97 for $450. Would that work?
Looks like I'd need to swap: exh manifolds, valve covers (need a new set), flywheel, all the accessories, and the fuel injection. Seems like many swap the cam as well. Am I missing anything?

Dump this in a hot crankcase. Run it at 1500 rpm for 20 mins. Change oil. We'll see how bad this engine really is
Do I just buy this stuff on Amazon? Really think it could fix the issue? Seems like it's ~$20. Wouldn't it be awesome if it fixed it?
I bought it from a local shop, Eagle is like 2-2.5 hours from me though, there’s a dealer locator on the web sight for that stuffSee where 1quick got his fuel Additive.
Is rings are truly gummy, this may fix it.
