oh im so sorry i didnt take the time to put in my two cents to ensure my spelling and grammer are correct. did I offend you, oh wait i didnt make a capital after a period oh slap my *****
Im saying unless your going over 700 hp you dont need to change your pistions as proved by nicks motor
but hey thats my 2 cents take it or leave it
if you wanna get all school yard bully about it, bring it here and we'll see whos left standing face to face
otherwise its just internet tough guy bullsh!t
oops bad grammer and spelling
my old english teacher would shake his head
oh and sorry you have more mods then me, maybe I wanna put my money into my house and not my car, maybe i feel my car is good enough and maybe i should be putting my money into renovating my house so my assets increase instead of decrease....
silly me

Cracked/powdered rods with hyperetic pistons (what our motors have) are not known to make gobs of horsepower. They fail frequently anywhere from 400 rwhp to 500 rwhp.
580 rwhp is the most I've ever heard of someonemaking on the stock internals.

Toi answer the question of the OP, I think Hammeron said it earlier. Somewhere between $1500 and $3000 for an entire rotating assembly.
I have seen kits advertised for $1800 which was bearings, pistons, rods, crank.
Still need:
rings
machining
gaskets
assembly lube
head fasteners
So, listen to Bruce since he just did his.

Minus the labor cost on removing an existing engine and dropping the new one in. How much money are we talking about, ballpark, for the purchase of the built motor?

Modmax has some for less. There's a stroker short block on s197 forums for $3500. Coast has some for less than 4k too.
Keep in mind it's just a shortblock. You still need gaskets, fasteners, fluids, etc. to complete the build.
AFAIK there aren't any 3v longblocks available or complete motors available.

from the research I did, in order to reuse the most items off your motor, your best bet is to use your own block, get the 30 over pistons, and get a good quality rotating assembly. You can get a very good assembly for about 1950 for most I have seen in either a stroker or a standard 4.6.
Something like this

also will need a flywheel:
8 bolt flywheel from spec: $299

Thats most of what you need. You will need some other bolts and the head gaskets, all that you can get from Ford. After that then the cost becomes what you can get labor done for, or if you can do it yourself.
