Default engine upgrade on my gt

sorry if this is not in the right posting area but i need help.... i was offered a 5.4 liter ford lighting engine for 7000$ it has all top of the line upgrades with ported heads and all. sorry i dont know all the specifics but was hoping to get a rough estimate if that sounds reasonable and if i should go for it. it just needs a intake manifold and will be complete and it is completely new. also what does a 4.6 engine with about 23000 miles sell for usually? thanks for the help guys

guy in the S197 section got a new GT500 5.4/tranny with 3x miles on it for 9000. the lightning on it only a 2v too. you can do better.

for that money you can get a procharger kit, tko and built rear. then be done!!

not worth it, get your own built or just spend the money on your engine
