Engrish?? Hit up the local Ford Dealer and get a quote for the motor then shop around for labor unless you wanna swap them yourself. Those are pretty much you're only options considering people rarely sell an entire motor on forums and there aren't many S197's in junkyards but you could always try a yard and see if they have one.

The hot rod engine is a stock 4.6L with the FRPP hot rod cams. You'll need the new PCM for it since it has the tune for those cams. It's a good engine and will sound awesome due to the cams.
I'd look into a built engine from livernois motorsports though. It'll be stronger and could handle all kinds of crazy power. They also have ported heads and custom ground cams to go along with it if that is also desired.

Yeah if the car is still under warranty (should be since it's an 08) take it to the dealer.
My suggestion is only if you want to build up a beast.
Getting a custom tune won't help if the engine is shot. LOL.

That was my first thought, too. Why not just have it towed to the dealer and explain that you were driving it and suddenly it started making noise.
How did you diagnose it as a bad oil pump?

what happen was when he got the car he put long tube headers and under drive pulleys. it was in the middle of the night and he did not have any one to help him and he got the car towed to the samsford dealer and they void the warranty. he called upper management and they told him sorry.
