I recently purchased a 01' F-150 with 133k. 8th diget W for Romeo. Long story short I spun a rod bearing on the way home. Or more like the guy put enough motor honey in it to make go away. I pulled the pan and miced the crank and it was .06 to .100 under. Looks like i picked a bad year because its very hard to find a replacement from a bone yard locally with decent mileage. To keep this project under 2K. I ether need to find a motor or rebuild the short block my self. Is there a chart or book that tells you what is compatible by year or vin number? Some bone yards say a different year with your oil pan or bolt ons will be fine. Depending on the year they say. The local LKQ said only that year will work. Or is it possible to do a short block rebuild for 2K? I will need a crank and rods. At least i know what i have going back in. Thanks for your time.
