SO the engine in this thing is pretty ugly. The saddles and caps for the overhead cams are pretty scored up, as are the camshafts. From what I can tell it's had no more than 3 oil changes in it's 190k, so the buildup on the heads is ugly. I can blow chunks off with a air hose.

1k for a set of rebuilt heads with all valvetrain. Pull the bottom end apart, clean, surface, bore or hone block, HV oil pump, pistons, bearings, ect. Another 1k ish. Junkyard engines are 2k plus, so that's out. I'd rather put that into rebuilding.

Engine is coming out no matter what at this point. I have a Destroked 12v-5.4 adapter. I think I'm going to bolt that to a bare 12v block and sit it down in there to see what things look like. A 250-300hp non intercooled (due to lack of room) VE'd engine would do everything this thing needs to do.

Hopefully this will be a useful learning experience for the next one. If it pans out, I'd like to find the wife a real clean Expedition and put my high compression efr turboed vp44'd 12V in. This one could then be the spare/wintertime vehicle.

So this whole idea is shelved at this point. The first expedition I bought ended up getting sold to my cousin when I found a cherry 05 Limited with no compression on #4. A valve spring, intake manifold, injectors, and a coil pack later it runs like a sewing machine and gets 19 mpg. I'm going to leave well enough alone at this point.
The wife is in love with it, actually named it diamond. Shes never named a vehicle before. Now I'd like to find her a pearl white Jetta for her 4 passenger or less trips, that would be about 90% of her driving.
