    I have a 01 gt. About a week ago I changed the lower and upper intake gaskets and a few days ago the motor seized up on the freeway. Can I get it to turn over or do i have to get a new motor?

    Well, I’d start by looking at the oil. #1 Do you have any? #2 What does it look like?

    Your asking us a pretty important question, without giving us information. You could start by giving us a history of the vehicle, especially the last month or so. Like why did you change you LIM, and intake gaskets? What symptoms(if any) did you have before changing them? Also, describe what “seized” means to you.

    In order to for someone to assume their engine is toast, there must be a lot your not saying.

    Pull all 6 plugs and try to turn it over. Most likely you need a motor.
