Anyone in California that can help me?! I am new to classic cars and I really want to get mine up and running, seems I bought a dud and I really really need help!!!
It appears you received a great deal on price considering the condition the car is in. However, being 40 years old, you need to expect problems. The good news is that this can be overcome. The Contact Coastal Motors and speak with Omar or Christian. They rebuilt my '73 Comet's 302 in 2012. They did an excellent job and the Comet runs great!
Do not forget that a 1980/82 Ford Fairmont, or Mercury Zephyr engine will also work just fine for your car. The Ford Granada 6cyl engines are probably easier to find and will bolt right in. BTW: Welcome from Lizella GA Ray
youre a journey away but Im in california and have a 250 setting in my garage. it came out of my boys 74 comet it was running when we swapped out for a v8 come pick it up for $100 Im not going to ship it a word of advise keep your old motor until you get a new one youre going to need the smog equipment unless la has different smog laws than sacramento
Thanks all! So interesting learning about all this stuff. everyone is so friendly too! @junrai I will keep that in mind, but I think I am going to probably just sell it and try again.
