It's in decent shape. I just dread yanking the engine if it is seized. I've found a used one for $600 at the local junkyard but I don't know what shape it's in. The tailgate is shot, it will need another one.

Which motor? From what I've heard 5.4s on ebay can be found with 80kish with a warranty for under $1000

I don't know where you are located, but I will bet many guys would be happy to double your investment, and take their chances with the engine.

My engine according to the vin is a 4.6 Romeo. I thought about the 5.4 swap but I'd have to sit and figure out what works and what don't. Right now just waiting for the weekend to see if it is seized. The last owner was old and just said he over headed it and it died and when he checked it that it was locked up.

Not today, but I picked up a L 3rd brake light for cheap. Going to do a little work on it, then put it on the truck when I get it back.

Over headed it ? What could that mean ? Well yea, a 5four will work, should start your own thread to put your questions to rest. Or just search it out.

BTW, remove that bug deflector on the hood and it might give you more ambition.

I agree, that looks like an OEM Lightning one, seems I remember those running around $200 or so.
