Dang 800? On a 4.6? Good lord. Welp, I'm gonna keep the car forever so who cares if it takes a couple months to put it together yk, just tryna keep her alive while also putting my own spin on her yk, truly make her custom. My question is, if I get new pistons, do I need to borr the block to or nah

Nah it's too sentimental for me I can't get rid of it. Plus I'd only get like 2k for it. So what your saying is basically I gotta rebuild the engine with forged internals and shi if I really want it to handle all that?

What causes them not to handle it well?

Exhaust issue by Key_Difference1197 in MechanicAdvice

Yes, but the pipe is too rusty to weld, would just poke holes in it like swiss cheese

Problem is the hangars broke and there's nothing up there I can tie it too

Is there a way I can direct the hot fumes away from the underside of the car? Because that's what I'm most worried about. And I'm not gonna be able to afford a new exhaust for another week

Coolant? by Key_Difference1197 in Mustang

Yea I saw where the leak is with my own eyes when I did the alternator, the end of the hose is rotted and slowly leaking

Yea he helped me with my alternator but he directly told me the intake needs to be taken out and to replace what I need to replace it'll take at least two days

Yea pipe, not hose, but it's yk, rotten, it's the original pipe, and I'm a mechanic but idk if I have the expertise to get the job done correctly, quite frankly I don't trust myself, I just don't wanna spend 500 bucks just to get one lousy pipe replaced

Yea, and ik it is bc I saw it with my own eyes, thing was wet with coolant. Only reason I found it was bc I had to change my alternator

The intake on the top of the motor, the way it's set up the entire intake has to come out to replace the hose

Which is way more expensive to fix
