I swapped the engine out of a buddy's 95 bird. The original engine blew up on the way home from buying it. He found one on craigs list to replace it. I worked 16 hours a day for 2 days to get it in and hooked up. he helped me when he wasnt working. The big day, Wednesday came and after a long battle we fired her up. It smoked a bit at first, rattled a little, then it smoothed out and Idled great. Until it reached operating temp. The warmer it got the lower the oil pressure went, till it reached 0. It still didnt rattle all that much, no knocking, but no friken oil presure.
So, as a fix I am thinking about pulling the crossmember and trans and pan and installing a crank and bearings, and a new oil pump. Any reason this wont work? it was a clean motor inside. It has great cold pressure 60 psi. but warm nada. lot of work but what the hell
