Isn't this the third recent accident reported by this list? Lee, glad to
know your wife is all right, but does she think the brakes weren't up to
the
task of stopping in time, or was this accident unrelated to stopping
power?

My wife rear-ended an Econoline, thus attacking its bumper with our
engine. She wasn't hurt other than having a sore neck for a few days,
but in addition to extensive nose damge, the body shop tells me one
of the engine mounts sheared off the block. First time he'd seen such
a thing in thirty years of body shop work, he said.
I assume the labor cost of putting all the existing engine parts on a
new block would equal the cost of just swapping in the new 201hp
engine, which the local dealer tells me would probably work fine with
the rest of the van.
Does anyone know if the 201hp engine can swap in without requiring
mods?
Also, my mechanic tells me the insurance companies just want to pay
for broken parts and labor, even if the cost = a new engine. Anyone
know about that? We're with Farmer's.
BTW thus far Farmer's has been good to us about this.
BTW BTW one of the tables was set up at the time of the crash, and it
apparently broke the leg in some way.
