    would that be the same one in my 2006. 96 is old. what about a newer version. don't they all have the same bolt pattern. my best friend owns a salvage yard. Thanks for your reply. good to know this info. Why would michigan motors want the core.

    michigan motors looks like they have good motors pretty reasonable. stock motors. 5 grand. I guess trying to go a little over stock is not doable without tearing everything out and starting over.

    Scott . I have never dealt with salt parts. Lets just say the previous owner used salt away on the motor every time out. Would 700 hours in salt water still destroy the motor.

    Look at that website for raptor engines. I did talk to him , seem like a nice guy says he has been in business for 30 years. Reviews are not good though. I wouldn't trust him but some guys swear by him. I have to many connections to not do it myself. because everyone wants a car painted...
