So I already have 3 Zetec engines (1 in the car, 1 from Sean - thank you, and I from the wrecked track rat) ... but they are all fairly high mileage (200k+) ... so in terms of getting boosted again my instincts tell me to rebuild first ... but then, why just rebuild, why not build and the answer of course is ... where's the budget.
So I was cruising the American site that shall go unnamed and lo and behold I found my answer - or at least I did after a couple of weeks of haggling.
This is what I got:
Zetec crate engine with less than 2k miles (that's 2,000 miles) ... never boosted, never disassembled, all original, exactly as it came from Ford ...
$540 US including shipping to my place in NY ... that's 528 CAD in total, plus I'll have to pay HST at the border ... all in all a pretty good deal I think.
