Long boring night at work and that left me time to think. My 98 4.6 5 speed 4x4 is making a horrible tapping noise. Sounds like an exhaust manifold but I am unable to see any signs of a leak anywhere. And when your under the hood and rev the motor it sounds more like its under the valve cover. So of couse I'm thinking the worst and that got my mind to wonder just a bit. If I'm going to put a motor in this truck why not try and find a wreaked lightning or HD and have something a little unique that would still be mechanically relieable.
--would my trans with a new clutch hold up?
--what would I have to change on my truck to work with the different motor?
Right away I'm thinking I would have to get the motor, wiring harness, computer.
-- Where would I live when I tell the wife I have brought home another wrecked truck for parts?
