Maybe you can find a used 5.0 HO and toss that in the car. It might be cheaper, if your trying to save money that is.

JohnB's close to you pm him. Or if you feel like driving a bit, Turbo50 can do it. He's got my motor right now and has done awesome work on a few others I know.

Put a wtb post in the ford sale section. there is always someone selling a old 5.0 motor. Good Luck. I don' think it would be to hard to drop a motor in.

Turbo50 built my motor and did a kickass job, I highly recommend him.

I have two stock motors that are both runners. I came across them just for the shortblocks to re ring and bearing to help out the budget build guys and make me a little side cash.
I would go through them both because they both probably have tons of miles on them, but they ran great.
Let em go cheap, just PM me.

I offer quality sidework at reasonable prices. PM ME
