What's a good price on a used 5.4 from the junk yard? I don't really care if it runs or not just as long as the heads and block are there. I have heard anywhere from 200-1200. Could someone give me a more specific price? I would love to pick one up and rebuild it over the next year or two

Hard to put a price on a rebuild. Soon enough you'll want a supercharger like the other guys lol
Guy did my .020 over for $100 bucks. Then 100 for hot tank and decking. I chose not to get it shot with bb's due to the dowel pins.

I'm just tossing the idea around right now, but I just priced forged rods, forged crank, .020 over dished pistons with rings, and mild cams and was looking at 2k. If I do decide to tackle this it will be a long drown out process just because of funds.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Boost won't be for awhile though unless I come across a full kit ready to just be put on for an awesome price.

Why not just use your stock forged crank? Just make sure to get the assembly balanced and youll be fine. I paid $1579 for manley pistons, manley h beams, total seal rings, main bearings, rod bearings, and main studs.
