an police officer in ohio needs some help

[shoisfast]

here is his story

Hi.I never heard anything about the cams before I placed the ad, now I keep hearing about them. Here is what happened. Maybe you can help me. I was driving home on the freeway at about 60 to 65 mph. The engine then lost power but did not turn off. As soon as this happened I turned it off and coasted to a stop. I then restarted it it but it still had no power. I turned it off again and had it towed to the Ford dealer. He called me the next day and said it was the connecting rod. They did not take the engine apart but just listened to it. They then said It would be 15,000 for a new engine or 7,500.00 for a used one, installed.I then had it towed home. Could they have told this without opening the engine up? Or could this be the cam? I took a 12,000 dollar beating on this car. It was leased and I had to finish paying the lease and then pay off the 9,000 remaining because I coulnt turn it back in ? Thanks. Jeff Williams

this car is in like new condition I will post pics when he sends them to me if anyone in ohio has a yamaha v8 or can look at his mabe its something simple

There are several responses in your first thread on the subject here: http://www.shoforum.com/showthread.php?t=32838

If he's only in OH, if he has the car towed out to Kirk in Spencer, MA he can put a good used motor with welded cams in it for $2500 soup-to-nuts, out-the-door. Kirk can also send someone out to pick it up for him, but that would probably add another $500 to the bill, twice that if he wanted it delivered back once it was done. Still way cheaper than the quotes he's gotten so far, and nobody knows the V8 SHO as well as Kirk.

there might be a welded V8 in TX for sale from a totalled car. contact Orisis on this Forum for information.

I might bid on it if it stays cheap and could fix it for a couple grand
