Might be a positive in the end? Get to keep your car and build a low km engine the way you want it. Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hightides Banned 16 Member For: 13y 3m 27d Posted 06/05/13 12:54 AM Share Posted 06/05/13 12:54 AM looks like over 330rwkw with no surge tank going WOT with less then half a tank of fuel unfortunately. Ford new fg shorts are about $2500. Check gumtree, ebay or fordforums as alot of people sell long motors. May be a cheaper option in the end. Good luck!
