jbrew, I did look at that site and thanks, sorry I forgot to mention it. I was looking for other options as well in order to compare pricing.

Also, the $3,000.00 price included installation.

As for the 08 motor option, will any 08 5.4 work and how can I tell about the new design? I guess I can just ask ,huh?

While he's got it apart, any mods y'all can recommend for better performance and towing ability.

The 08s with the revised heads have brown rubber boots that connect the COPs to the sparkplugs. The earlier engines, the boots are black.

I have a question and I am sure cabinetguy probably has the same one...COP's does this stand for Coil Over Packs? Or as I refer to them as the Power Packs? Just curious I see the abbreviation used all over the site and I have figured out most of them but this one has me stumped.

That site searches any location. It will have a variety of different Salvage yards with engines your looking for . Perfect for comparing, saves you a ton of time hunting one down. Most Salvage yards post what they want for it, some you have to call for price.

Searches any zip code for you and posts.
