There's a few 4vs at the two yards I go to usually. $159 each and you have to pull them yourself. Check pullapart.com and see if there's one near you

I thought that was about standard for a non running domestic v8. I haven't talked to anyone first hand that has bought an engine for this yard but I have heard of a few guys getting 4.6s from mustangs for in the 150 range to. Plus core charge of course

I like this place because it doesn't matter if the motor is a boat anchor or in a wrecked car with 50 miles, price doesn't change lol

Forgive my ignorance but couldn't you take a 2v block and put 4v heads on it and be cheaper. Obviously the lower end will have to be rebuilt and have some parts changed out

Trucks newer than 04 are rare there.. lol. I would have gone the 5.0 route too if it was less than $200

Johnsons Mustang and truck? That's the place I'm talking about lol unless the guy told me he would sell me the 2v sitting right outside there building for 150 plus core charge. I went and checked it out and it was just missing that cam, the valve cover, and the oil pan. I mean it was a no running engine missing some parts I thought 150 was a pretty good and reasonable price. He said there was nothing else wrong with it as far as they new. Idk maybe he was just messing with me or something. I would assume that a 4v would be a good bit more than a 2v tho. His prices also drop the more you go in there. I'm in there a good bit so they know my face and I feel like the are more reasonable on the price for some things
Yep, that's the place I'm thinking about. I only called on prices back when I was building the first 4v for the truck. I'll have to check them out again when I'm ready to start building again.
