i have a 93 f150 supercab 4wd with the 302 wit 250,xxx miles on it. a couple of weeks ago one of the exhaust manifolds cracked. so i ordered a set of shorty headers from summit. start to take all the bolts and studs out to put the new headers in. i get i get 15 of them out with no trouble at all. i say to my self wow this went really easy then BAM the last one breaks off even with the head. no problem i drill out the center put an easy out in and DOUBLE BAM the easy out breaks even with the bolt. so i say to my self this motor has alot of miles on her might be time to do a swap. i find a engine on ebay from some junk yard in PA with 78,xxx miles on it for 400 bucks. i win it drive out there they put it in the back of the truck im looking it over and right there on the oil filter is 191.xxx. i go back inside a say something and this idiot is making all kinds of lies about the engine. he gives my money back after i threaten to take him to court. after i leave i call a friend of mine who owns a body shop about getting a motor for me he says no prob makes some calls. and says for 450 bucks he can get a motor with 70,xxx on it. i pick it up bring it home and start breaking it down to change all the gaskets. right there on the side of the block is a jasper sticker. i think to my self score the donor has 70,xxx but its been rebuilt so it has to have less then that. pop the oil pan off everything is still silver. this motor couldent have more than a couple thousand miles on it none of the metal had that brown tint from the hot oil cooking into it i mean like bright brand new silver color. the only thing i found wrong with this motor was who ever put it in the junked car used 7 ford injectors and one of the them was was diffrent it was almost an 8th of a inch longer then the rest of them and the holes in the tip where way bigger then the rest of them. this thing was just dumping gas in the cylinder. any way after droping it in i put in the headers flowmaster y pipe with hi flow cat and a super 44 single in duel out mufler and this thing kicks *** if i breath on the pedal it breaks the tires loose finaly i get a happy ending and a bad *** truck

 

... and then you got a massage?

 

Nice! sounds like it was a pain in the *** to get to that happy ending, but at least the ending is happy! swaps are awesome!
