    WTB: Short/Long/Stock Block

    Hey guys i have this over at NLOC too but im really looking for a complete stock engine and maybe tranny to go with it. But i would also consider any short or long blocks that you guys have for sale. Im in SoCal but could also arrange it to be shipped. Just trying to get an idea of whats out there just all my searches came up with sold engines.

    Thanks a lot!-Dillon

    Well what would you be willing to sell it for? I could maybe do the L conversion. Im just trying to get figures, it all up in the air but i wanna do some type of swap.

    Vince- I dunno it kinda all around the board. Some way too high and some that were pretty low. I think Lightning Joe at NLOC was selling his complete stock engine for like 1200 So i dunno but keep me in mind and let me know

    Thanks-Dillon

    im really not sure what mine would be worth, but i honestly dont recommend the stock N/A 5.4 block with the 4R70 trans, you would probably be much better off with a lightning or 02 and up block with the 4R100 trans. that is probably what i will end up doing eventually, or ill rip the whole thing down, and replace everything, and then get a 4R70 monster box, or something to the equivalent.
    just my opinion, but then again, im not sure what you want to do with it...

    i have the stock motor in mine now. the only reason i would sell it would be for an excuse to get a built shortblock from JLP or a crate motor from summit or somthing, but for what i would get for my motor, it would never come close to cover the cost of the new one.
    the stock motor i have now is the 5.4 L triton V8, 260 HP at the fly, i think its about 220 at the wheels, not sure on that however. it has about 72,500 miles on it (another excuse for me to rebuild it!!!!) never had any problems with the engine. the trans is the 4R70, and it has about 23,000 miles on it, had to get it replaced, because when i bought the truck used it failed, and the mechanic said that it was heavily abused by the previous owner. it was all replaced through extended warranty.

    yeah tell me about it!!!
    i know you have the first hand experience, and i am not looking foreward to dishing out that kinda dough to make my 2000 what it should be...
    i'm notreally sure what im gonna do right now, what ever it is it wont be for a while, need the money first...
    i though about the L swap, with the 4R100 like you, but i might just go this route
    http://www.troyerperformance.com/cgi...no=Stage5-COPA
    and then go with new pistons, rods, cams, fuel delivery etc.
    at some point go with a rebuilt 4R70, and then form there go to suspension, nitrous, and anything else i can afford.
    i just don't know if its like tryin to make a purse out of a sow's ear...
    i do like the idea of building up the current motor, because i could break the cost up into more managable peices but im really not sure at this point...

    Dillion.. another little "hint" is that expecially on NLOC everything is inflated... at least in my expereince...

    Over here things areusually more reasonable... & they go more quickly...

    Good luck
