Might be in luck, apparently my friend knows of one that i should be able to ****** for $200... its in a Dakota, which means possibly swapping the flex plate, exhaust manifolds and motor mounts naturally...

Well I have found a motor last week... A stock 4.7L for $150... I drilled and tapped knock sensors into the block... cleaned it all up, installed my H.O. Heads and everything else from my jeep onto the block... and will hopefully have it bolted to the trans tomorrow... and have her turn the wheels under her own grunt again...
I have pics but can't find how to attach on my phone lol

Attempting to upload from my iPad... So it runs... I have no spark on #6 cylinder... I have the old dakota crank sensor on the block... Gonna swap it and hopefully she will fire again
Here's a pic of my cylinder head... Just kissing the piston...

Well she's running like a champion... I had set my timing chain off by one tooth... Threw the compression out of whack... Was causing misfires... But all is well now... She is no longer making the ticking noise before and after a shift... Woo!

Heres a few of the pics... so you can see how i rotated the camshaft one tooth and voila runs like a champion...
Also a picture of the damage to my original HO connecting rod...
last photo is just how nasty my fuel rail is... and i had cleaned it fairly recently... so i've got a new fuel filter to install, i wish it were diesel cause then you know they would have the filter in a easy to access location.
