[QUOTE="Neckdogg, post: 133963, member: 24720"] I purchased a Mustang 1700 last fall and now that the weather is breaking I am starting to work on it. It is complete but has a seized Ford V4 motor in it. I am currently working on freeing it up. Wondering if anyone has swapped the motor to a modern motor and if so how hard was it, what size motor etc. I may rebuild the Ford V4 if I have too but the parts may be more than a new modern motor. I'm just not sure what the interface with a horizontal shaft motor to the rest if it would entail. Anyone know of any kits etc. I want to restore the Skidsteer but I need to get it running before I continue the rest of it. I have filled the slark plug holes with ATF and with Mystery Oil and it has been soaking in that for a few months reloaded a few times. It is seeping through on 1 or 2 of the cylinders. But trying to get any movement on the flywheel is a no go. Im assuming my next step is pull the head and see if i can clean up the cylinder walls and get some movement via shock with a piece of wood and a mini sledge. Any ideas or suggestions? Am i on the right track? PS I bought this knowing I am definately in over my head. Planning to video the process and post on YouTube, but as of now all I have to post is it sitting there. And me putting in the magic Mystery oil. [ATTACH type="full"]6111[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
