On the other hand - my older brother bought an EXTREMELY rough 84 242 5.0L efi powered that had lived in NY/NJ and later in FL along the coast. Extreme corrosion. And when he went to pick it up - it wouldn't start. Think he paid $600 for it and put it on the trailer. Fuel pump was the no start issue. Dragged it back to Augusta, Ga. I knew the NY owner - and knew that the engine in it was a relatively new 345HP FRPP crate engine. He pulled the motor out and put it in the 86 Mustang he was building (pic below). Did a deal with me - I could pull off anything I wanted -- and he'd take half of whatever I sold. Got a bunch of black interior trim pieces and a Great Volvo/Momo steering wheel. The rusted shell went to junkyard heaven. Full circle - Mustang motor into Volvo out of Volvo back into Mustang. His 5.0L and T5 cost him about $300 and I got some great parts out of it. And the PO got rid of a steaming hunk of rust. A great deal for all.
