Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
PnS also charges for every single part. Block, carb, alt, hoses... The new owners seem to want to make money or drive off business.
There are some yards on south Santa Fe. I can't think of the names but they are there.

Correct, but I believe a short block is sold at a fixed price. For just a dead hole due to a scored or cracked cylinder, that should be all that's needed. That's why you find cylinder heads, manifolds, and all sorts of other stuff laying around the carcass; people only take what they need to avoid getting pinched at the register. (Sometimes, that has saved me a lot of work, too.)Originally Posted by Ah Pook

There are also several salvage yards at Tower and Colfax. They do the dismantling, so their prices are higher, but a phone call is all you need to get the info from them.

Lincoln Auto Salvage Can't remember the address 45 something S. Santa Fe. They have a big sign, can't miss it. Just south of Sviegal's (sp). 30 years ago, one could get just about anything there.There are some yards on south Santa Fe. I can't think of the names but they are there.

I have a buddy selling a brand spanking new built EFI 351W with a Paxton supoercharger. It would bolt right up to your truck.
he's asking $7k, but I think he's flexible
It'd make your truck move pretty good with over 500hp (can be tunned for over 600hp with another pulley
The 351 wont bolt and go on that truck with a 5.4L. Lot more work then its worth. Harness, mounts, etc all different.
Now when you said a dead hole, no compression, or constant misfire on that cylinder? You'll find that doing a shortblock on that engine is pricey, as its more involved then say a 351, or 305 chevy. Might want to find a complete engine for it. May check LKQ. I've torn those engines down, and while it wasnt hard, it does require some tooling, and not to mention the work to get that engine out.
