Unhappy Sad day for me

Guess what happend???????? well im not going to give you enough time to guess. My Bronco is pretty well dead . I seem to have spun a bearing, and it's knocking real good now. I havent decided what to do with the old girl yet, maybe add another ford to the local junkyard?

New engine is far less expensive than an entire new truck especially a full-size 4x4.

time for a new shortblock....

the most you should have to pay is about $1200
port the exhaust ports clean and have the heads serviced at a machine shop, get new head, intake, oil pan, timing cover, TB and water pump gaskets

and slap her back together.

you won't exceed $1800 for the new setup.

upgrades will always up the price.
