Hello, hello,
I think I can do a brand new 4.6 block for much less than US$3,700 !!
Brand New 4.6 Cross-bolted short Engine (Block, Crank, Rods,
Pistons, Rings (fully assembled) Only. US$2,100., Also available
dynamically balanced (add $140) & Blueprinted for race
reliability (add further $285)
An charge of $285 is applied if you do not have an exchange block.
Freight would be approx $290
A Long Engine would be approx US$3,300 plus freight plus "core" charge of
US$285
