I'm new to all this short block, long block, enhanced long block stuff. Can you explain the difference between this engine and your OEM Engine? And with your engine what would I need to swap over from mine? I think a new engine may not be too far off for me.

After reading the info on the ebay site, that sounds like one quality built engine. It's hard to believe that they can do all that machining, specing, blueprinting and balancing and use quality parts for only $3100. If it's as good as they say it is, that is one super deal! Dan (Kwikk) needs to take a look at this.

CSIPSD got a quote from tidewater
"$3100 for the long block as listed on ebay. Add $2000 for the arp head studs, coated piston domes and skirts. Releive the piston fish and comp 910 valve springs"
very reasonable.

Now Ed, I would never step out on my favorite Ford OEM supplier, I was just thinking of something non-OEM baby!
