The engine noise do you know what it is and have you had the repair quoted?

 

[wildstang_93]

most likely the beginning of a rod knock ,pretty much only does it when you first start it cold .

 

[NOTASTOCKDOHC]

Oh snap sounds serious

 

[96 cobra]

That sound might be the serpentine belt tensioner/pulley, take off the belt & start it up for a few seconds to check...

 

[NOTASTOCKDOHC]

You got a vid of the noise

 

[wildstang_93]

i don't but its for sure in the bottom end. goes away soon as it get oil pressure . will need a engine or engine rebuilt .

 

[NOTASTOCKDOHC]

How much is a stockish rebuild?

 

[wildstang_93]

probably around 1000 for a rebuild ,around 2000 for a used engine

 

[NOTASTOCKDOHC]

Any other issues dents ect rust ect

 

[wildstang_93]

paint is pretty clean , has minor dings ,no rust ,has wrong seats ,and saleen front bumper. really not a bad car especially for the price . has a awesome suspension package . if I didn't have a yard full I would keep it .

 

[NOTASTOCKDOHC]

Trans shift fine and ac heat works ect and would it need to be trailered or is it okay r light to drive I know that sounds stupid but just gauging is the motor hurt that bad?

 

[NOTASTOCKDOHC]
