Anyway, the prices for something like that should be about the same really. I haven't had to pull one myself but I have been told the 4.6 is easier to pull than a 5.0....IDK...the fact that it was so expensive is because its easier for them to replace the whole short block or motor than it is for them to actually replace the small stuff.

If you go into it knowing this and just buy a blower from the start its ok
When you try to mod it otherwise its pretty lame.

I learned this the hard way, just like everyone else.

Will it take a little more money...yes....but technology costs money...
