[V8] 3.6L V8 engine needed

[Greg Furstenwerth]

Missed my old V8 enough that I had it shipped to Hawaii where I now live. Hows that for sanity :)

I'll second Dave about the chance of finding yet a 3rd motor that's 
perfect. My spare motor only has 125K on it, but wasn't really taken 
care of properly, and does burn oil, and had some low compression. 
That compression went up substantially after 2 shock level doses of 
Techron(bottle in 4-6 gallons of gas) run thru it and my guess is 
that maybe some of the crap got cleaned off the valves. Someday in 
another lifetime, I'll pull the heads and have them gone thru. Head 
bolts/gasket/guides/seals are still less than I'd part with my 125K 
oil burning motor for. If the motor were out, then a set of rings 
also can make it a "new motor"(calling Dave Head)....

One of my cars has never, and still doesn't burn a noticeable amount 
of oil between the 3000 mile oil changes that it's had it's entire 
life....The rest eat oil steadily, but run fine/don't noticeably 
smoke, but you can smell it. I just bought a gallon of 2-stroke oil 
for the boat tonight, and it's just a part of owning that motor..I 
look at the V8's the same way.....I could sell them for nothing, and 
buy a new Honda that probably wouldn't burn oil and got stellar fuel 
mileage, but I'd still miss the V8 everytime I got in the car. Tom
