But Ford is paying right - because you obviously can do alot better. Terry H. IIRC said he could get NEW 3.0L long blocks (including heads)for $2000. Probably could have the 3L ports polished & move your SVT cams, intake manifold etc + installation for under $2000. Basically, a blown 2.5L out of warranty is mearly an excuse to get a 3L.
