My bud with the 97-98 F-150 is beginning to look for a 4.6L remanufactured longblock to replace the current Romeo cast in his truck.

I found a place called "Power Pro 2000".

They offer a 5yr/100,000mi warranty with not as many loopholes as you'd expect.

Here's the link to their Ford longblock page:

http://www.powerpro2000.com/lb_ford.htm

For their 97-00 Ford truck VIN "W" longblock, it states the following:

F-Series Truck Engine Expedition Engine, SOHC Romeo Plant,6 bolt flywheel, Block # F7AE XW7E, Head # F5AE

The price is $2,375, plus a $450 core.

I seem to lean towards this place as opposed to Jasper. But, ya'll tell me what you think!

Thanks for any insight!

Looks like a pretty good deal. I have never heard anything about them, myself.

 

That looks like a really good deal. I picked up my long bock from ford it was $2,600. The core charge was $600. It had a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. It took a couple of days to come in and I picked it up on a Friday and dropped it off the core on the following Monday.

 

Also look at vt performance, the mustang guys seem to like them.

 

Thanks for the input, fellas!

I'm going to give them a call and see how their sales staff sounds, and how much they know about the products that they sell.

I called the Ford dealer... They want $3,200 for a 4.6L longblock.

That's a little steep IMO.

Thanks again!

$3200 was the starting price of the long block I bought. I talked the parts guy down to $2600.

 

I wouldn't buy a reman'd engine-the warranties you get with them are a real joke,and never pay for labor if they have a failure.If you've ever seen how the "remanufacture" most of these engines-you'd run away fast.
IMO,find a low-mileage used engine from a later model truck or even an Expedition. The'll have PI heads instead of the NPI's,and if you get a complete engine-you'll have everything needed to change it out. I'm looking at a 34K mile '02 4.6L in GA on car-part.com right now for $1141,and there's many others out there like it.
