Dodged a bullet there. Count yourself Extremely Lucky. 

Glad you finally got it squared away!Ended up pulling the entire timing cover off, had a stuck tensioner, cracked off piece of the guide, and the timing for Bank 2 was 180* out. Replaced the entire timing drive components, retimed everything, put it back together and runs like it should!
The individual that sold it to me didn't want to pay to replace it, and I knew the tech who did the diagnosis and he wasn't able to dig deep enough to find the root cause. So in turn, I decided to take the gamble and got the car for really extremely cheap and fixed the problem with ~$2k into a running and driving mustang. I'd say that's a win.it was diagnosed by my dealership that it needed an engine! Should have done that before "before" you bought the car, once you bought it without cheking it out. You pay the consequences.
Totally Agree!I'd say that's a win.
