I paid $800.00 for everything a year ago. Complete engine, harness, fan, accessory brackets, airbox & mass air, ECM, etc. I found it the day it came in so it didn't sit long. The junk yard moved it up the line in order for disassembly and I picked the engine up the following day. It was a very clean 01 Mountaineer hit hard in the passenger side (I know I have been calling it an Explorer). I felt good about the condition on my first visit to the yard. The vehicle was clean inside and out with obvious signs of coming from a good home.Looks good for a 100K motor...How much did the complete assembly run you from the junkyard??

Thank you. At first I thought $800.00 might be a lot for a 100,000 mile junk yard motor. But then I remembered the money was really going towards everything else. The intake and heads, acc. brackets, oil pan, harness, etc. With all things considered I felt it was fair.Can't complain on that. I'm on the hunt for a 99-01 so I can V8 my sport trac. Plans are to grab a 4406 so I can have factory 4x4....Sorry to thread jack a little, keep up the great work and keep them pics coming. Hope you can keep progress rolling

Thank you. I only wish I could move along a bit quicker. I have collected most of the parts but do still need to complete the short block. The good thing is that a slow pace because of funding allows a little more time for attention to detail.I just found this thread. It looks like you are meticulous and take the time to do things right. Your truck is an inspiration for me. I've got a 99 3.0L regular cab and I hope to start collecting parts soon. Can't wait to see more progress.
