Welcome, you hit the jackpot of Marauder wealth!
How does your car run?
How many miles r on it?
Doing Maint? get any owners service records?
Wanna make it go faster? Wazz - up???
A lot of the Maintenance is easy to do yourself or with little help.
If Making a (reliable)street thumpin' , "Torque Monster" is what you are looking for,
I'd call,"The Three Stooges" !:burnout:

Sorry, Been out of town over week end.
The car is 04 Runs great.
No service records at all.
I had noticed the belt pully tension seeming to bob somewhat too much and actually making a sound in doing so.
Of course my first thought was that the belt was old an needed replacement. Then I come to find out from: Vic that the card had: PERFORMANCE ENHANCING RATIO REDUCTION PULLEYS ARE ON THE ENGINE From the repair history, this back in 2004 so I asume they are still on the car. Now, I am concerned about belt size?

This car will not be a "Street Thumper"
I can do allot of stuff myself, just wanna have some one take a good look at it unfortunatly there was other stuff in the warranty repair records Vic gave me I did not like what I read.

The water pump pulley does not look like an underdrive.

What was on the service report that concerned you?

[JeffsMM]

INITIAL INSPECTION ENGINE IS SEIZED OIL LEVEL IS FULL AND HAS AFTERMARKET OIL FILTER,PERFORMANCE ENHANCING RATIO REDUCTION PULLEYS ARE ON THE ENGINE AND MODIFIED H PIPE EXHAUST IS PRESENT,ENGINE MUSTBE REMOVED FOR FAILURE DIAG ( I really wish I knew the story behind this)

I have had a chance to meet the first owner of the car. He has explained everything to me. The engine had seized up on him right after he had bought the car. Ford did not cover it under warranty because he had changed the pully. He had the engine rebuilt: JE/SRP Forged Aluminum Pistons.
Moly File Fit Rings.
Eagle H Beam Pro Rods.
Ford Motor sport Forged Crank Shaft.
Clevitte Rod and Main Bearings.
Melling Oil Pump High Volume.
Melling pickup screen.
Fell Pro Upper and Lower Gasket set.
ARM Main studs.
ARP Head Studs
8 Bold Fly Plate.

Now I have allot more understanding.
