I am going to buy a 3L shortblock. Already have the headers, Quaife etc.

Do anyone have any good leads on new shortblocks from Ford? I've been getting price quotes around $1400 from dealers, quite a bit higher that the $900 ish prices I've seen on the forums.

Price was the same for 99-2001 shortblocks.

Thanks!
