New motor?
If something was to ever happen to your motor and you need a new one where would you turn? Who would you trust to build it? Where can you buy short and long blocks that are ready to go? Just curious incase I ever have to look into a new one

Re: New motor?
Im taking my stuff to MPR Racing Engines based on a lot of reading and asking people I trust that run their stuff hard. Theyre in Boynton Beach FL
the ford racing stuff tends to be decent if you arent gonna push it super hard but it seems that if you do have problems they dont do a great job standing behind it. MMR & L&M would never get a dime from me.

Re: New motor?
A Ford remanufactured engine is the only way I can see myself going. I've been burned by an engine builder and have since vowed to not go down that road again. Fyi- engine builders do NOT stand behind their work. There will always be an excuse and they will not own up to their mistakes. I've seen it time and time again in real life and on the forums. It's simply their M.O.

For a stock style ford motor you might be able to get something through a ford parts dealer. They've been discontinuing a lot of stuff forcing us to go aftermarket

Re: New motor?
Did a google search a while back in case I ever need a fast replacement motor and found these 2. I have never ordered from them and can make no claims about them.
