2002 powerstroke need engine.
I need a new engine for my 2002 f250. A rod hit the block . I knew the engine was not the factory it is a Ford reman engine .It was changed in 2004 .
How can I solve this problem ? shoud I buy a used complete engine? or just a good block ?
I saw a lot of engines from salvage yard "burned on top" could this be a good option if I found a low mileage block?

If you can try to get a 99-2000, and possibly 2001 motor. Mileage shouldnt be too much a concern, 100k is not a whole lot on these motors. The reason for the 99-01 motor is they have forged rods, which should eliminate what happend to you, as the late 01 + have powdered metal rods. Since you have a complete motor minus block and bottom end, you really essentially need a short block, if your familiar with engine building, or have a reputable garage to do the work. just my .02

It will all depend on what you want to spend you can buy a reman longblock from know suppliers for around 5000 I bet a good used one is going for around 2500 or more. If you don't mind me asking how did you put a rod into the block ? What mods were you running ?

Are there 2001 models with forged rod and 275 HP ?

As Kwik pointed out, they are pretty much all the same except for the tune until you dip into the early SDs which have physical differences.

I checked the engine today and saw that the broken rods in my truck are from '99 or 2000 forged model. Therefore, I want to emphasize that forged rod are not unbreakable like many people in this forum seem to believe.

Nope, Forged Rods have been known to fail as well.
Billet are nice if you have the coin.
I know DI sells short blocks:

Ok, just so happens I found this place http://www.engineserviceinc.net/ on another site. The provider of the info says DI (ie. David Lott) told him this is where DI gets their short blocks.
Hope this helps.
