I spun some bearings earlier this year. Ended up going with a FRPP n/a aluminator shortblock through one of the supporting vendors on this site.

My entire build cost me a little shy of 8 grand, but that's including some other stuff as well. clutch flywheel etc. and i got amazing deals on brand new ford racing pats, and awesome deals on other stuff from the other vendors here.

If you decide to keep it and fix it, there's a ton of knowledge on here.

The Aluminator shortblock I think runs aroun$2500 shipped to your door from FRPP.

Sounds great, I don't mean to sound helpless here but exactly which vendors are you referring to? If i could pick one up for less than $4k I'd go with that

You could always do a terminator swap
