New "reman" short block, from FORD, is $1500+/- and $500 core charge for an engine that they do not service the bearing area on.
What irratates this situation is the main bearing are not available according to several engine remanufacturers that were contacted during this adventure. Guess they are hoarding them all for themselves.
