I'm curious too, 5.0 you hear stories all the time of people replacing those, driving on no coolant and warping the heads, but I don't think I've ever heard of a 4.2 replacement

I could try to find out, but it's probably very low on the salesman's priority list since 'sold'.

What a find! And he gets to visit you to boot. Sounds like a win-win to me.

Digging into this thing now, and a super-special surprise!
Course my son doesn't care a hoot about it.

What a difference, from Insight to XKR. Nicely done. The price is great also and you throw in a new(er) engine to boot with all the assorted bits updated as well installed by a reputable shop. Seems like a sweet find.
