I'm having a hard time understanding what you are saying, but I think you are asking where to find a used motor correct? Pull-a-part is one, OEM Take Off is another. But honestly for the price you would pay, and since you don't plan for it to stay "stock" anyway, I would just order from a reliable aftermarket company and buy a built short block.

Why on earth would you want one of our junk 4.6L when Ford puts the 5.4 DOHC engine in everything down under? Why wouldn't find something out a wrecked FPV or anything with the 5.4 DOHC. We in the states would give our left nut to get ahold of the great engines you guys get

Yeah i had thort about that BUT
(1) they want way to much for them
(2) thay have so many things going wrong with them like loosing oil pressure
(3) from what I have read, the 4.6L is a stronger block cos of it's smaller bore
(4) and stuff is way way way cheaper in the US cos of the dollar.
