Hello all. Im new to the Ford world. I have been a Toy guy my whole life (currently 43) and I now need a full size van in my life.

I just bought a 2010 E350 with the 5.4. It has the Quad van 4WD conversion and is in great condition, except for one thing. The motor has 203,000 miles and cylinder 8 has **** for compression. 65 to be exact. All the other 7 have compression between 160 and 180. My options according to the mechanic are, to have new coil pack, spark plug, fuel injector, coil boots, cylinder head, piston and wristipin, head gasket, valve cover gasket, lower intake and oil pan gasket ALL replaced...OR a Jasper motor installed.

The motor swap is obviously more $, but as long as Im spending $$ , I want to do the right thing and get lots of life out of my decision.

The transmission is being rebuilt, so that comes out either way.

What are the opinions out there?

Thanks.
