[V8] Bad Front Wheel Bearings(non Audi)

[Dave Saad]

I am pretty sure a clunker car may have any body parts sold, in fact I  
think the entire body could be sold whole and complete, but the motor  
has to be physically destroyed.
These had green paint on the whole motor. Even the alternator and  
similar parts.
I suppose a good way to end up with a decent Explorer or similar rig  
would be to get one whole, and just grab another V6 from a wrecked  
one.  No shortage of those.


For pulling, your ideas sound fun.  I am hooked on diesel for some odd  
reason.  I would like to find a V6 turbo diesel.  For the money and  
hassle though, I may as well just leave the motor attached to the  
Mercedes, Audi or BMW it came from.
