is anyone here interested in purchasing a 4.0 motor? it is from an 04 ranger. the only difference between it and the stang is the intake manifol, which it doesnt have anyway. This motor used to be boosted with an xcharger kit and was pulled because it was making a ticking sound we couldnt find. Motor had 50,000 miles on it. Used sythetic oil every 4k miles. Not sure if it is damaged or not. It ran when i took it out, i took it out to put in a built one. Its just sitting in my garage taking up space. If you want to pick it up or figure out how to ship it i will sell it real cheap. If nothing else it can be used as a starting point to build a stroker or forged motor. Anyone>?

Edit*i posted this in the 6cyl forums with no luck. so maybe this is more the place.
Additionally-i called my shop that pulled it, apparently he thinks that number five piston is cracked, and thats what was casuing the ticking. he said that piston has heat issues in these motors due to lack of coolant flow. He said when he looked it over everything else was fine. It has new lash adjusters as well, as thats what i thought the sound to be and i replaced those myself before giving up and taking it to a shop. So if anyone is interested, i'd prolly take a few hundred bux plus whatever it takes to ship it or get it out of here. Thanks guys.
