My 1997 f150 hydrolocked and lost a rod I was wondering if anyone had any luck with rhino replacement engines. I was thinking of using one as a replacement.

 

I know that BlueOvalFitter recommends them. I was going to install one myself but a friend picked me up a Ford crate engine for the same money. SOOO, I figured if anything goes wrong Ford can fix it. Actually I did do quite a bit of research on Rhino and only found one customer who had an engine go south on him and he was very satisfied with the way Rhino handled it.
If you get one let us know how it worked out for you please. You can buy these pickups so cheap with bad engines I might consider doing another someday.
Good luck!
