Default Worlds Cheapest V8 Swap

This is yet another continuation of my AMG 5.5 swap thread. I decided against chopping up my 62k mile XF, and bought this car instead. The previous thread can be found here https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ap-thread.html

Alright, picked up the platform car for the AMG 5.5 engine. According to the previous owner, he purchased this car from one of the moderators on this forum.... if anyone recognizes it, let me know. PO's name was Jeff and he lived in Everett.

04 Graphite Gray Auto with a stuck ignition for $800. Tow cost me $200, didn't want to take a chance with an old battery so a new battery, wiper blades, and a bottle of Heet cost me an additional $209.

Completely stuck ignition, had to break out a die grinder with a burr bit to get rid of the pin, ready to re-install now.

Will report back later, should be running in about an hour I imagine.

Jared
