Value? is it worth it?
Please have a look at the following and let me know if this is worth bidding on, also what sort of value would you put on it?
I have a 2000 2wd 5.4 EX can I use any of it?
Can't put links in so search ebay for item # 4526240381
Thanks in Advance

Seemingly the seller has set a reserve of £550GB approx $900 but it does have a few things missing such as the ECU or brain no brake calipers no air intake/radiator etc but all else seems to be there, not a bad price for a V10 2001 motor but what else would i need to convert my 5.4 to a V10?or even 4wd? if I'm feeling adventurous!!

I wouldn't know where to START 
Except to say it would be more of a "project' than I would want to start.... but then, I'm lazy
could the running gear on your truck handle the extra power ?
or would u move your "truck" to this frame...
WOW - still like the supercharger idea over this... let's see what others have to contribute...
and what time IS it there ? when it's 12:26 PM midday here ?

The handling of the extra power was my main concern about supercharging? also the strain on a 100k mile engine/trans etc.
If it was an easy swap to put a v10 in place of the v8 then I would get a similar increase without the extra strain on the engine plus would have an extra trans and running gear? and for a lot less cash.

UK i think your brakes would work on the chassis. The ecm you could probably score from a salvage yard. If you are wanting 4 wd then you could always unbolt the whole cab assembly and hoist it onto the donor chasis. That would probably be easier than converting your present 4x2 to a v10 4x4. Then again I've never been conventional in thought. LOL
