here is a link i saw the other day, they have LONG BLOCKS for $3900. i think that is a good deal, you can take the engine apart, and sell individual parts on ebay or something. i assume one of your rods let go? were they forged or PMR?

You have to call for prices, but they have shortblocks, longblocks and complete engines. No Idea of the price or about the company.

i can comment on their service, as well as jtharvey. their shipping times suck. its been two weeks and a day since i placed my order, hasn't come yet. wasted a weekend, i planned on having the stuff needed to wrench on the beast, but no, the housing i ordered hasn't came yet. just emailed them.

I have a complete powerstroke, dissasembled and cleaned, that I will no longer be needing... PM me with what you need, and we'll see if we can set up a deal... If I remember right, it is a 2000, any external way to tell if the rods are the forged variety or not?

diesel innovations or beans diesel performance can get you a short block. Or go to a junk yard and buy and engine with a good block and have a local machine shop short block it for you. I can get you a phone number to a company that sells a complete rebuild kit (oil pump, freeze plugs, all gaskets and seals,pistons, rings and wrist pins, crank, cam and rod bearings...) for about 900 bucks. As mentioned earlier Diesel innovations has a good price for forged rods. While your at it might as well have you heads checked out, do a valve job, new seals and what ever else may need done. If your interested and want new stock valve springs i have a complete set i took off my new heads, id sell them cheap. I also have some used stock pushrods and main bolts if you happen to need those. Id make ya a heck of a deal on some of my old parts that are still useable.
