i dont really know i baughtit from a guy on louisvillemustangs and drove it for bout 3 weeks went to work to show it off and i guess i reved it too hard in 1st and when i went to go into second u could hear poppin n ****. so i got it home took it apart and blew 3 holes in my piston. it aint too bad i could rebuild it but id rather jus put a new one in it. it had around 190,000 miles on it

Looks like a good deal to me being that they are very detailed in their rebuild process.

you could save a little bit of money and just buy the shortblock, doesnt make sense to pay for the same heads/cam/rockers that you already have

Autozone also sells Reman Engines.. Im just not sure of the price.. My friend works there and the other day he ordered a mustang engine for an auto repair shop.. That way if your still kind of skeptical about ebay, you could check that out..
