I have found and Atk and a reman engine the atk is 1750 long block and the reman is 1599 for the long block atk is the number one reman. engine builder in the us.

reman sucks... spend the few (and I do mean few) $$s more to get a rebuilt long or shotblock from someone who knows racing engines... like a CHP, DSS, Etc...

I dont know why you keep looking for cheap motors. This was covered in the other thread you made. Your not going to get a good quailty fully assembled long block for $1,500. They are cheap for a reason b/c they are JUNK. DSS, CHP, RNH are all good motors, these off brand no name long blocks are just crap. Why is it that you want another motor? Is yours blown? Why not just find a used 5.0 motor if you want to go the cheap route?

i bet for the same $1500, you can pull yours and have it rebuilt and re-assembled locally.

either that or get one from a junkyard

Actually, Jasper is. I do have to agree with everyone else, though. Reman engines are usually done as cheaply as possible. Ream the top of the cylinder to remove the ridge, hone it, and toss the stock piston back in with new rings. Cut the crank down .010 or so, pop in some cheapo bearings, sometimes without even align honing the mains, etc. Personally, I'd rather find an Explorer/Mountaineer engine and use it instead. In fact, that's exactly what I did.

Buy a used explorer engine with low miles for $600 have it rebuilt or do it your self. Get some mild port work on the heads buy a good cam... and you will be at close to 300RWHP on a cheap set up...

Great guy to deal with and prices aren't too bad either. He's great to talk to give him a ring.
