If you're starting from scratch, I'd say that cost would be about the same, maybe a little less actually. The T5 is easier to find that the T9, and there are more parts available for them...Otherwise you need just about all the same stuff.

I may have one, but need a few days to check.

hahaha...that's ridiculous, but I guess you're lucky to still have wheels. I can check the jack, I don't recall it having a plastic end though, but who knows. I have a few that I will look at.

You could probably get one cheap, aka free with a little rust on it...clean the paint off of it and then repaint it. Same for the lug wrench...I've got both if you want to go this route, just pay shipping. I think I have a few of the rubber straps as well.

Hey Mike...
Just for poops n giggles, what's the ballpark cost if the following were done in your shop?

A4LD swap with upgraded 4.0 Explorer Towing rebuild.
Engine upgrade to the 175 hp manual specification.
Changes to retain fully stock appearance.

in...

I'm interested to know as well...

I don't really think these issues were ever solved, other than discontinuing the car. I'd also say to think hard, if you say the car can't have issues, you're probably looking at the wrong car to own. They're 30 years old give or take, they had issues from the beginning and they wont go away. Either...

Stick or Automatic, so basically looking for a black/grey XR4ti...

Interesting to see...These are the seats I have in a car I just picked up, if anyone is interested in a mint set of seats in the US.
Also note this has a speedo in mph rather than kph.

Should be near the front of the block around the timing cover. Curious if the high compression block ever made it into the USA. Nor sure if it did, but I know very little about Merkur.

Complete engine available in S/E Michigan...

May be interested. Which casting is it, and how are the heads?

Where is the casting ID? I can find out and let you know.
heads are attached to the block, its all in the car.
