OK looking into the future here with my.future build. Can pick up a 03 explorer motor with I believe is the WAP block? Aluminum. Motor is sludged with possible rod knock tge gyy said, and needs rebuilt. $100 for the motor. Is it worth it to pick it up and use it for a build? I could essentially have the shortblock done, heads gone thru and get a pi intake or edelbrock and throw on my 98 cover back on it correct? If I bought it for the heads is the block worth anything? Thanks guys! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
From what I've read the heads and cams are the regular pi heads but the intake is a little different due to a heater hose in it I believe. Definitely thinking of grabbing it Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
Bore it .20. Replace the needed internals and get pistons for whatever your going for with your build.
For $100 grab it. If the block is junk you can keep/sell the heads and scrap the aluminum block but if it's a cheap fix you have a nice setup to drop in.
