What Parts Could be Useful ?

Well I bought a 2000' S That had thrown a rod thru the top of the engine and I was hoping to get a case to use for a new bottom end and wanted to use original heads and intake system to put it back together any chance the heads would be useable. Thanks Frank

I wouldn't reuse those heads for two reasons. There's a possibility that the thrown rod and damage it caused might have warped the heads too. The other reason is that the 2000 year m96 has the reputation of having the worst heads of any year for cracking that will cause intermixing.

Are you looking for spares or upgrade parts as the intake for 2.7 is same as 3.2?

I'am looking to rebuild a engine that threw a rod,( threw the top ) and I'am not sure which components were damaged or able to be used when I find a new case , I hope the crank is good, I intend to pull the engine soon, take it apart to see, I figure the whole bottom end is bad but just crossing my fingers that some component's are usable...Thanks Frank
