Need a block.

I need to pull my 7.3 out of my 02 and dont know if im going to have to pull my cab off or not?

Anyone know a good place to look for a good deal on a short block, long block, or low mile eng, or have one for sale?

Find a dismantler that deals with Fords or diesels. I know of two in Fontana.

Why do you think you need a short-block and how fast do you need it? Since your 02 probably had PMR's, this is your chance to get some factory forged rods.

Cookie is one of our Moderators. I think he is running the above short-block. Some have had issues that I saw at PSN. Might be worth your while to research it. And call Swamps Diesel Performance to see what it would cost t build a short-block.
