Tell me about it, having just graduated college w/student loans up the butt needing to be paid back, $2,200 isn't really something I can afford right now. Thank god for a nice dad. Terry Haines recommended I get a used, low mileage motor, however, finding those for the SVT is pretty difficult. However he thought if I COULD find one it would be about $1,000 plus labor to swap. So maybe if it is a bad crank/bearings, you could find a "used" cougar motor for a decent price and save a bunch of money. I'd try to get a hold of terry and see if he can help you out at all.
