    Blue is back on the road!!!!!!

    First and foremost I have to thank both Rich Long for supplying the motor and Zack (unfortunately he won't see this) for all the labor that took to do the motor swap today.....THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU I would also like to thank Zack (again, unfortunately he won't see this) for taking the time and effort to take my upper & lower intakes, timing cover, cam covers and cop covers to have them powder coated DPB Zack got to my house about 7:30 am and didn't leave till 6:45 pm!! No problem getting the damaged motor (not sure what caused the engine to lose oil pressure, oil pump fine) after that the new motor went in w/o a hitch!! Ate lunch and finished it off and started right away!!! BLUE is back on the road again
    Zack took time away from doing his own thing to help me because since I have a contract on my house, and the proposed closing date is 9/30/09, I needed to get the motor swap done this weekend because if all goes well, I'll be moving next weekend Once I figure out how to post pictures, I will, but please don't hold your breath
    I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
    And so are you - Have a day better than yesterday

    Congrats on getting the M back on the road. I believ ack can do MM motor swaps with his eyes closed (but I hope not literally).
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:
    Alex "Marauderboi" Vachon 3/2/92-8/13/10
    Paula Babineau 1/9/67-8/2/11
    Rex Weinbender
    Peter

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    Yup, he may be gone, but he's not forgotten. Zack is the MAN.
