[Marauderguy04]

Hey everyone I'm back in the market to buy another Marauder (4th one since 2008 getting that itch once again lol ) I've brought 2 off this site and thought mmm let's give it a try again

I prefer an 04 MM/might settle for 03
Black Or Sliver
Seat color have to match color of car
Low mileage nothing over 45k and that's pushing it
Mint to flawless condition
Price range 12k - 16k

I have a project I wanna do to the car if the 5.0 motors fits imma put it in the MM

Please help I'm in Orlando, FL

[Marauderjack]

So why would mileage matter if you're gonna re-power it....just curious since mine might fit the bill except for mileage?? :confused:

[RubberCtyRauder]

yes, a 5.0 will fit, but it's not plug n play. pcm, trans choice etc. it has been done and can be done

[Marauderguy04]

Rather have a shell of a car that's has 30k miles on it and the inside has the new car smell and looks brand new. VS one with 150k+ miles shell and probably the inside not as well kept, probably gotta get a paint job, dings and dents and do whatever might else be wrong with it... Rather just pay the extra what 3k I have the money to spend for one with low miles and that I KNOW inside and outside has zero problems

And yes I stop by Ford yesterday and they gave me a list of stuff I would have to do to make it fit. Gonna go with the 2017 motor

[Marauderjack]

Ya might just need to look.....ya may be VERY SURPRISED!!:rolleyes:

[Gerry24]

This is pretty close by you...

It's that I knit pick at everything and my ocd doesn't help at all it's gotta be a low mileage Marauder under 35k to be honest, yea hes not to far from me but has 60k on it so no...

Looking at the one in Washington state the one from off this site or just sit and wait which sucks

[RubberCtyRauder]

a 30k mile shell marauder..good luck, never gonna happen. you would be surprised how a well kept marauder interior really is. . and how is a ford dealer gonna know what you need to put a coyote motor in a marauder? most of them rotate the tires front to rear when they are staggered sizes.

Just get a supercharged one and forget about the 5.0.

Because they know exactly what shaft the driveshaft shop fabbed up for the last one assuming he’s going with a 6R80... If he’s not then what is the point of doing this.

But hey, at least that’s only the most expensive non Ford custom part involved.

Rubberctyrauder: if you read the whole thread then you would of understood why i made the whole 30k shell comment no s*** I'm not gonna find that that doesn't make any sense. I know how well kept Marauder interior are I've had 3 of them, honestly kind of pointless responding too sorry for your bad experience at that dealership you had, get over it...

Gerry24 irrelevant comment lol no comment on that u must be bored? Felt the need to comment something?

Trilogymarauder: no thanks I want a 5.0 motor

Justbob: there's a Powered By Ford store I go to as well to get opinions then I'll decide on what imma do for sure

[Marauderguy04]

Someone of yall getting a little off topic focus and pay attention all the extra stuff, irrelevant comments and etc. Just save it tell someone who cares... If u forgot what I'm looking for it's up top of the thread if y'all see one let me know thanks!

[Comin' in Hot]

I have a blue one for sale with 179,000 on it, it looks like a 30,000 mile car. If you’re going to repower it, it would probably be perfect.

You might want to keep that tongue leashed some, these are the folks on this site that will be helping you when something is wrong with your car in the future :) These guys know what they are talking about, so i would not take the advice for granted.
The stealership will have zero advice to actually getting the 5.0 to fit, ya know flipping and trimming the oem motor mounts, cutting the crossmember and adding a certain motor mount to make the 6 speed auto work, or the certain oil pan that fits and you dont have to modify to make the 5.0 fit. Simple stuff like how to get rid of the anti start system on the 5.0 computer, getting rid of air bags and abs systems turned off on the 5.0 pcm and still retaining the oem computer to handle all the body module *****

Guess you dont need our help here. www.cars.com you should find a good one there. GLWP

I have a 24k mile 04', might be out of your price range though.

I didn't have any bad experience at dealer, my car doesn't go to them. It was a reference. I don't care how many marauders who have had, you know @#^% about how to put a 5.0 in and have all systems run. A dealer will be of no help except to take your money for parts you think you need. You need to get off your preaching pedestal.

First off, RIGHT ON! This will be a cool build! AND I WANT ONE!

Keep us informed on how it goes. Don't let the off topic comments drag you down. Turbov6Bryan is right, there will be a few niggly things you bump into where some of the folks on here can definitely help.

Also, let the extra clean car folks (OCD car folks) jump in here! For them I can say, "We completely understand!" There is absolutely no comparison between a well kept 25,000 mile car and a well kept 65,000 mile car. And we agree, the $3,000 spread between the two is the best money you can spend. In this instance You may even be able to sell the low 30,000 mile 4.6 motor for the spread in price!

I am all in on this build! I still think Ford should raise the roofline 3 inches, widen the interior by 6 inches, lengthen by 1 foot, and add two more doors to the Ford Mustang and make a real badass RWD Ford 4 door sedan.

The car in the Northwest is a good contender. I will keep my eyes out for you.

Be perfect if you could find a low mile extra clean car with a bad motor! Otherwise you may be a little light money wise, as the OCD owner (whose cars haven't been rained on) has probably lovingly added sway bars, big brake kits, etc... Which come to think of it, you are absolutely going to need if you add HP to a Marauder!

Happy hunting :flamer:

[Joe Walsh]

Pull my freshly rebuilt 4.6 and use the money towards a 5.0.

BTW: My Marauder already had a 5.0L in it....:D

https://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=105661

[Greg]

Buy Joe Walsh's car and swap his power train into my car. My car has an engine knock that I am not sure what it is yet. It runs and pulls great, just has a slight knock after it is warmed up. Joe has heard it (lives nearby). Getting ready to ship to Mo's in Georgia to have it checked out along some power steering issues.

If you are taking the engine out anyway .....

Getting a low mileage marauder for $16,000 will probably be hard. But get Joe's and sell me his engine and you might be getting closer to your goal.

My engine has 109,000 miles on it. So, my car isn't what you want. But Joe's car with my motor would be good. Just not sure yet what it is worth to me to have Joe's engine vs getting mine checked out and rebuilt if necessary.

My marauder buddy in Regina has a black 03 with 27000miles. Car is immaculate. Wants around 15 grand Canadian.

I did the same thing. WOW. It may be a race to Regina. But, I don't have a supercharger:(

Keep my tongue on leash? I wasn't the one who started all that you might wanna go back and READ again its some of these members on here with slick ass mouth and comments who always have something to say to someone. ive been on and off this site since 2007 and I know how most of the members are, u making it seem like I started it or I don't want anyone help or you must have serious comprehension skills or something idk.


when did u see or hear me not take anyone advice? your just making up **** as you go and I know must of yall are butt buddies so yall stick up for one another and join in on the bashing of people.. PATHETIC!


News flash: you guys aren't the only ones who know about Marauders theres some people at ford dealership employees and across the country as well who own marauder and know about them just as much as yall do... Ford Dealership in Orlando I spoke with a guy who did the switch to the 5.0 and guess what? hes not a member on here so relax yall aren't the only ones

preaching pedestal? whos doing that? went to ford ask them about a 5.0 motor in a Marauder and who it fit? sorry I like to ask question, unlike you u built the marauders all 11,052 of them and know everything about it sorry man maybe I should ask u instead since u so up tight about it... must of committed a crime or something

Don't want the color blue! I will not repaint it! either cause I know where your small minded mind is about to say next!


post clearly says no more than 45k miles did you go to school? your has 179k miles do the math on how much more it is... its simple!!!!


179kmiles? go bring it to the nearest junkyard its good as trash with that amount of miles on it...no thanks sir! but again before u comment read the post if u don't know how to read which that's obvious get someone to read it for you maybe parents? kids? wife? homeless man? or etc


if u wanna be a smartass I can too :)

[ByronRACE]

I've seen several 150k+ California marauders free of body/paint damage with flawless interiors sell for $5K or less. If you're engine swapping, I would look harder. As far as resale value of the pulled engine goes; the difference between a 25,000mi pull-out engine and a 150,000mi pull-out engine is about $1000. Car-Parts.com will confirm this, you don't need to take my word for it. In the rust-free states, the difference is that the higher mile car needs ball joints and bearings and shocks and a fuel pump. Both cars (due to age) need all the rubber parts changed. In the rust belt, yes...a 150K mile car of any kind is done.

But it's your money; it you won't be happy without a low mile car, that's fine. They are getting hard to find.

[Marauderguy04]

I have to say I agree with you.:bows:



Thank You!

[Bondfreak13]

Mine has 220k on the clock. If the Clear coat wasn't fading you would never think so.

[MMBLUE]

Thank You!

You're welcome however, I would tone it down a bit. One jab back is sufficient. Anymore than that then you have a vendetta. ;)

[Marauderguy04]

Positive Members, who stay on topic, not **** talkers, wh do not bring up irrelevant comments/statements REPLY ONLY!!!!








Ok y'all I found a Marauder closer to me in FL, I need possible problems or issue it may have since the mileage is low (8,000miles) and is 15 years old (2003) and probably been sitting a ton. I need details on anything and everything I need to look for or beware of! I'm NOT going to pull the motor out and go a different route instead cause that would be flat out stupid to do

due to language, this thread is done. Marauderguy04 any further attempts to work around the swear filter will result in either expulsion or a vacation
