where do you get $4500????  and why would you want a rebuilt 5cyl??????   ANY
USED 5cyl is as good as a rebuilt one...prolly even better!!!  there is no

i just bought a rearended '86 5000 turbo for $500 that i drove home from wash
DC to Allentown, pa......150k and it ran strong!  i was doing 85-90 mph all
the way back on I-95  ( i was racing my friend who was driving my '84 5000
turbo :<) (ps, watch those delaware cops ;<)
