Ok so my 99 CVPI is getting old with 230,xxx on the clock im in the market to find a newer motor to breath some life back into the car.
Any one know where I could find a decent deal in the KY, OH, IN area that I could go to the seller and swap motors there as I cant afford the shipping and dont have the means to swap it myself.
Any help would be appretiated

I'd say that unless your motor has a specific problem, just keep it.

Sounds like you may have a leak at the heater hose connector on the back of the intake. Repair would consist of replacing the intake with a new manifold. Dorman makes a kit along with Ford. I would guess you have coolant leaking into #4 plug well causing your misfire.
