HI all, So im replacing my engine due to a messed up rod situation. Its my daily drive so while i learn how to rebuild it, ill be putting in either a new engine or short block. a few questions to anyone who can give me some advice:
1. if i buy a short block, how difficult is it to transfer my heads to the new short block? I hopin to keep the cam in place and 10 new bolts and gaskets and they're on, then timing chains...is that too simple? i can do alot but i've personnaly never messed with heads and valves.
2. anyone know where to get a good short block or long block for a reasonable price. (Im hopin this doesn't eat up all of Xmas)
3. i've seen "crate" motors on ebay for around $3000.00. With 110,000 mi on my 2002 mustang gt, would this be a better way to go?

im lookin for opinions from people who know before i make this purchase so anything is helpful.
