Peter_H Member 5 Member For: 15y 9m 20d Posted 28/05/11 05:15 AM Share Posted 28/05/11 05:15 AM Hi,not too sure if this is the most appropriate section of the forum to be asking so if a mods thinks it belongs else where please feel free to move it.I am wanting to buy a brand new xt6 turbo long block.Does anyone know if a ford spare parts dealer will be able to sell me one? If so, has anyone priced up a long block before?I know I could easily find out by a quick phone call but being the weekend I am unable to do so, so if no one is able to answer I will phone on monday and report back in case anyone else is curious....thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many members on here with access to better pricing from dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short motor is block,with the bottom end installed and not much else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
