Well my 65 has finally literally lost her mind. I just got done taking it out and tearing it down. Now all that's left to do is take it to the shop and wait a week. Then I go to pick up my just-like-new, bored out engine with a hotter cam. I'm freakin excited!!!!! I'm painting my firewall and some other parts black to go beautifully with the blue ford block.

Make sure You take before and after pics when your done. You have to now because the you already got a thread, so im waiting. How much does it cost nowadays to get a motor torn out and rebuilt? Wanting to do it to mine or either start new.

well if I or my girlfriend can figure out how to get those pics on the thread then we will sure do. mine's a 200ci and it's costing me $1147 for the engine to get rebuilt and another $102 extra for the hotter cam and $42 somethin for the springs to accomidate. Plus all the new fluids and filters. And when I took it out I noticed that my engine mounts were split completely in half! but those were only about $10 each. Then I had to get my radiator flushed out to ensure the warranty on the engine which is costing another $50. So once you add everything up you're lookin at about $1411 give or take plus tax. But then again that's for a 200ci and those are a little cheaper than the 8's I believe. And I'm also in Kansas. It depends on where you're living

Wow, that's not bad considering your using your original engine. For a no-lead conversion and stainless valves I paid 1200 for just the heads on my B302.
