That ' s strange . It seems like Worcester had a really long and lush period of foliage and we ' re only an hour out . <| sep |> Alright sarge , fine , it ' s a warthog <| sep |> Someone brought up Mitchell last week , everyone here told him he was an idiot and such . Look what happened . If you feel it in your gut to start him start him <| sep |> I can relate on the old car vs new car shenanigans . My C 43 looks a bit rough up close due to the miles , but it ' s still a photogenic and handsome car . It needs some clearcoat repair and minor dent removal but has no rust or anything . But when a guy in virtually any stock mustang pre 2011 wants to show off and thinks I ' ll be an easy target , I get a big chuckle out of proving them wrong . Even before the motor swap , there were numerous fox body 5 . 0 ' s who ' d stare in confusion as I ' d pass them with baby seats in the back and well over 250 k miles on the clock with an untouched motor . using the term swap for the 55 motor isn ' t really accurate . When you put an LS 1 in an E 30 , that ' s a swap . The C 4355 swap is nothing like that . It ' s the same engine but with more displacement . Some 55 motors came with different oil pans so you have to use your 43 oil pan . The only change you have to do is unplug a water journal on the 55 motor that feeds the transmission cooling line . The motor is otherwise identical and the C 43 ECU instantly adapts to it . My new motor was only going to be warrantied if I paid a pro to install it . Took him a few hours and he replaced valve cover gaskets , water pump , and idler pulley on the way . Turn the key , go . Motorinstall $ 3500 .
