Bad deal....glad you're out......

Sounds like that four footer that I got stuck in the other weekend.....no d9 around....only a shovel.....
Ya idk what happend the other crew drove out about 45 minutes before with no issues, but it wasn't a road it was just a right away of a pipline. Snow flew over the hood and it was game over. So I had to walk a half mile back and fire up the Cat.

Like the big one...
LABOR RATE
So you've got to decide WHO is going to do the work....

Do you want a warranty?

I called a few of the indys in my area and they'd charge 500-1000 for the swap plus incidentals not including the price of the motor......

A Ford Quality Reman is around 2500

You can also think about getting a used low mileage one also for around 1500

Time to do some searching old skewl style and brush the dust off the phone book and start calling to get price quotes.....

Just remember the approx prices that I listed are for MY AREA not your area.

i was just hoping someone knew off hand, didnt mean to put you through any extra work. Nothing is wrong with my current motor. but i have decided i am going to keep this truck until it blows up, and then im gonna rebuild it and keep riding.

It wasn't any extra work on my part........

What I was saying is that not every country, region, state, town, or shop is going to have the exact same price for the same job or part......
