how do I tear down my motor and rebuild it myself I NEED HELP

Try some of the tech forums... the guys and gals in there know a lot about that kinda stuff. Or, try buying a manual for your model year and study outta that for help.

Best of luck with the project.

honestly, if you have to ask that you shouldn't do it by yourself. find a friend that can show you the ropes, a manual won't substitute experience and its not as simple as changing an alternator

Start with a GOOD manual for your car.

I agree with the other poster. Unless you have some additional experience using a tourque wrench, clearancing, etc. You are investing some serious money in the parts and machine work. Sometimes, things let go (go boom), when all the details aren't covered. Not that you shouldn't attempt it. I did my First engine, with only general background. I had used a tourque wrench replacing heads on a car, etc. prior. I built a 440 that ran very strong, in the 500+hp range on pump gas. I rpm'd it to 6500, more than a few times and it held.

I am not sure about Ford, but MOPAR offers an engine specific book with most engines they manufactured in it, my current copy is over 650 pages long. I fFord has one of these that would be great. There are some decent general walk through engine builds in automotive repair books too (like Chilton's etc.).

I did my engine any way, but was surprised at the low cost to have the local shop do the assembly.

Good Luck !!
