That’s what I charge for complete engines when I sell them. $1500 labor for R&R engine on 4R100 trucks and my cost for any PM or upgrade parts. Most people get out of here for under $5k.

That includes paint and you choose the colors!! Lol.

But, this isn’t CA and my overhead is very, very low....

$500 harder.

Either drop transmission or jack the front of the cab up. Still a PITA to line up input shaft in pilot bearing.

Might be able to source at an auction house too.

Thank you. Is there a yard that you recommend?

Nope, sorry. I am new to the area but I see the ads. Roseville has the biggest yards but there is a yard in Marysville that does Fords.

Whether it's bucks or bolts, most are throwing something...

People (playfully) busted my chops for not using Benjamins for that event, but that's not Photo-Shopped - not one pixel. It was breezy that day, and I was unwilling to risk a Benny floating off. My loving wife was kind enough to work with me to get the series of photos to make that work.
