I don't have an entry in this challenge.. I was looking for something to beat on this winter, and was trying to make it something I could enter just for fun. No luck though.

There are cars around.. just not in the budget I had in mind. Next year I'll buy another car and have more money to play with when I do. The Mustang is probably getting winter tires in the meantime

It's in the same family as the 350 olds. 3.8 bore 3.385 stroke and it's a turd to boot. Most were 140HP, but the HO was 180hp/245tq. They're ******* unkillable, but turds. My mom has an 84 Park Avenue, it's been sitting since 97, all I have to do is charge the battery and it will drive like brand new.

Is it at least the DOHC 2.0L? If it's that SOHC, I'm shocked that it hasn't dropped a valve seat yet.

Ah, yep. I won't touch any car with that motor in it from auction. If you have to fix the motor, you just lost all profit. I make sure to get the DOHC version of the motor.
