Anyone know how much a new Lightning 5.4L Block and crank would cost??
Also where would be the best place to buy one??

Thanks

 

call a tuner, they will know how much a short block costs

 

you might not believe it if I told you.

cost on a block is only around $250 bucks, and the crank believe it or not is only $150!

If there is one thing i have learned after owning modular powered cars since 1996, its stick with someone who SPECIALIZES in Modular engines. Just dont go trusting each and every pushrod motor builder. Theres a lot of little things they need to know about assembly/prep on mod motors.Its your $$, so be sure to research it well.

 

Chris,

Where can you get the block and crank at these prices???
Is this your local dealer at Cost prices???

Where are you getting the blocks for $250? I paid $500, about 1 year ago for my block.

 

those numbers are actually rounded up (meaning on the high side) if I remember correctly, but that is approximately 10% over dealer cost.
