I paid 1400 shipped from alabama Complete from TB to Oil Pan and harness.
04 40k miles.

Wish i had looked around for a better deal but i needed it fast for the Truck that i was driving at the time.

Smoking deal you got there, I always check the bone yards when I'm up there. The last vacation I took up I came home with way more than I planned.

zigbigadoru · February 8th, 2009, 09:10 PM

ok well im gunna be doing all the work myself. ie. valve job, honing the cylinders( maybe boring), turning the crank, boiling the engine. but my question is what are some tricks to this engine? ie my dad has a lincoln 460 engine and drilled some holes in it to improve oil flow.

zigbigadoru · February 8th, 2009, 10:20 PM

i should have gotten a 5.4 for 250 but my uncle kinda effed that one up. i am still happy with this one. so im not gunna complain.

Unless you have a A large mill and block plates you are not going to bore that out yourself. Your best bet for determining your C.I is to find a calculator online and use it. Do not go anymore that .020" if you are going to bore it, thin cylinder wall are not exactly going to help make power and may lead to further damage down the road. Only bore the block if it needs to be done....

bore x bore x stroke x .7854 x 8 = CID

zigbigadoru · February 12th, 2009, 10:50 AM
