I'm looking at a 1994 Lincoln with a 3.8 l efi engine that has around
60,000 miles on it. The engine is a 'long block" from ford purchaced and installed in 12/2002. Can one assume that this would be a "good" engine or one with the inherant problems that plagued the early 3.8 L engines? Having looked at a 3.8 before (with out the heads) it appears that it lacks a cooling jacket at the back end of the engine. Which could explain overheating and then the domino effect created by the overheat. They would not have redesigned the motor to eliminate the problem? Would they?- posted
