97' F150 4.2 V6 5spd engine rebuild and egr delete
I will post pics within the next couple hours but I bought a 97 F150 2wd V6 with a 5spd for $500. I knew the engine needed rebuilt so I did the teardown today and saw that this engine must have been run low on oil or had a bad oil pump because there were a few loose rods and the main bearing were trashed. So I will do a full rering and rebuild and delete much of the emissions related issues. New to the forum but I welcome everyones opinions. Thanks

Update- After removing the cam and counter shaft I could see that every bearing in this engine was going to be changed. As Carcrazy suggested this thing either was run without oil or had a bad oil pump. I ordered a laundry list of parts of Ebay this week.
New ordered
Complete engine gasket set $80
Rod .030, Main .010, Cam & Counter shaft bearings $90
Piston rings $42
Crankshaft regrind $100
Freeze plugs $17
New Starter $39
New water pump, timing chain set, & oil pump $92
New timing cover $57
New Clutch kit $120
Total spent so far $637
All New parts bought on Ebay at the best deals I could find. I'm taking the block in to get the cam bearings and freeze plugs installed $65. The cylinder heads are getting a valve job $90. So when all is said and done and will be about $800 in but that is including many new parts that have nothing to do with the engine rebuild I just figure since I'm in there I might as well like the clutch, starter, and water pump.
