Short of it is I have an '03 motor, that needs to be replace or rebuilt. Two bad pistons all else is good.
I found an used 06 short block on Craigslist for $600 will it work? Still waiting on response on the miles of that engine.
what are my options otherwise. With a $3k budget?


Long story -
Cyl 8 has a hole in it Cyl 6 is chewed up but nothing there
Shop will rebuild mine for 8k or new/reman form ford installed for 14k. Problem is my credit is crap, I cant get a loan to fix it and I still owe $5600 on the truck. So I am looking at the best possible low rent but safe option for my situation, over the next 2-3 weeks I will have $3k to spend.

original plan was to try and part it out to pay off loan, then get a new loan on another 6.0l. If there are no other options that will be my plan.


thanks guys!

Any block will work.... I would opt for a running salvage then have it pulled. I would rather hear, see, before I handed out money.

 

The hpop oil rails and branch rubes are different between the 2. You will need the 05 or newer wavy oil rails icp sensor pass valves cover to make the 03 heads work on that 06 block

</label>I know I need the AT because of the way it bolts up
but what about the rest for 03 motor?

If you ever do run into a block, carefully inspect the entire thing. No cross hatch in the cylinder wall, pass on it. I have several owner crashed vehicles around me that one can purchase, hear it run, for $3500.00. One is rolled, the other was direct front hit with extensive frame damage.

 

Cool thx!
once I get the loot rounded up I will get a hold of you

An option is to look around at govt, commercial auction sites that have International VT365 equipped trucks (e.g 4200).............many times these badly beaten up vehicles (e.g box trucks) have decent engines and go cheap..........you'll need to bring your electronics, emissions, upper end, etc because the VT365 is "simpler" (and less trouble than the early 6.0s).......

 

Awesome idea thank you!

3500 should get you pretty close to a running engine fromna bone yard.
