I blew the engine in my Falcon it turned out to be bad fuel that blew it... (not happy) anyways I was running 410rwkw through a BF mkII which Iv been told isnt to much drama... anyways when I blew it as you can imagine made a big mess of th e block and the sump.. now Im looking at a new block and I know my next question is gonna sound super stupid.. but I dont want to ask these questions at a mechanic cause they will probaly take advantage of it and charge me a sh*t tin... the engine I have found is a BF mkII block it has had the sump weilded professionally as it had a crack.. will this cause dramas down the road? also it doesnt come with Manifold Wiring, oil pump and accessories.. I dont think I need any of those things anyway right? and If I do what is needed? any help on this is muchly appreciated...

thanks in advance,

Peever.

anyone please?? =(

Is that the one on ebay? if so just buy a new sump if your worried, oil pump you should replace anyway with a Atomic one for safety. Wiring cannot help there.

yes its the one on ebay.. =) It looks like a pretty good buy... thanks for the help.. can anyone shed some light on the manifold wiring? If Im correct that shouldnt be an issue??

use the one on your car? should work.

sweet as.. im not very mechanical minded hence why I wanted to make sure... think Imma go for this one on ebay.. been looking for a few months and not much has come up..

How bad is your engine as ford sell new short motors for about $3000

The sump has pretty much disappeared... and the block has a hole on each side the engine will be taken out over the next week or so...

As long head is ok look at the short engine option, being brandnew you know nothing is wrong.

The sump should be fine as long as its not leaking. BFII has stronger pistons, same rods as FG, but FG block is stronger than BF.But a stronger block is not going to make alot of difference when your throwing rods. Cheers
