[QUOTE="Bl4ckedoutc0bra, post: 9331366, member: 26617"] Well, it looks like the worst might have happened. I was driving home in traffic (Los Angeles) on Friday and heard a bad knocking sound from the engine. I pulled over and noticed I was about 4 quarts down on oil. Topped it off, and still a bad knocking sound. It looks like I was leaking somewhere and messed up the bottom end. My question is, should I get an MMR 5.0 shortblock or go with the 4.6 and maybe an s/c or turbo? I have been out of the Mustang community for many years, mainly focusing on my business, and would like the board member's opinions. I want something that is reliable, can be used as a daily driver here in Los Angeles (bad traffic at times) and offers good power. I figure if I'm going to rebuild I might as well add some power. Another option is to sell the car to a local that is looking for a project car. It has suspension work, seats, etc. Any opinions? I trust all of you board members and want to make sure I make the best decision, but have been in the dark for the past 4-5 years. Thank you!!! -Aaron [/QUOTE]
