JUNKYARD.....i rescind my pick a part comment as the truck is too new, go drive down Shepherd in houston and hit up the junkyards or hell even call around.

just got one last night. More than I wanted to spend, but 500$ for the short block, and hes throwing in every extra part for a 97 f150 hes got. 45 mins north west of bcs.

My bad I suppose. I guess I'm the only one that doesn't walk around junkyards looking for ****ty motors.

no your not

Hmm...a shortblock? So you're going to spend the time to swap the old heads and intake onto a junkyard shortblock? If he's throwing every extra part for a 97 he's got, why don't you get the whole engine instead of being uber-jew and buying just a shortblock out of the boneyard.

Have you ever had the heads checked for cracks? Why did the motor blow up to begin with? The problem with my motor was in the bottom end, but the heads had small cracks in them to around the valve seats from overheating i presume.

the problem with the existing engine is that it threw a rod and goes clunk clunk clunk. One head from the engine I am buying is bad, so most stuff will come with the new engine i'm getting from this guy, but its not complete i guess. short block was the wrong term to use I guess.

Anyone got an cherry picker I can use for a day to drop this thing in there with?

make sure you get the manual for that truck so you know the tightening order and torque specs for heads, intake, etc.

yes, and remember, there's a good reason not to buy a ford product.
