I got a price for a 2002 Taurus engine from my favorite Advance Auto Parts store.
$3,043.00!!!!!! and a $450 core charge!!!!! Freakin' nutz!! Is that typical??
I can only hope that price was mis-quoted.
I had no idea. I can remember getting V-8 short blocks with all new bearings & rings for $350 and if you wanted a long block with all new goodies they ran abot $700.
Based on that crazy chiz, building your own 3L is the ONLY way to go. For that kind of money, you can have it built & installed for you!
