Damn... did you get a really good deal when purchasing the car? Obviously before you knew about this problem



FWIW - don't be afraid to swap engines.. my dad and I did on my old mustang in 2007, wasn't that hard if you have all the tools and engine hoist - and we never had any problems after that.. if you have any kind of mechanical know how it's not that hard
