The Explorer/Mountaineer long blocks would have the PI heads and an aluminum block which means its about 80 lbs lighter than the mustang equivalent.

Did you get the timing issues worked out?

karkraft.com has 2001-2004 Explorer 2V motors for $1895.00 and 3V for $1995.00 (new) and a used Mustang 3V (with 440 miles) for $2695.00

I know where a Teksid 4.6 from a Mark VIII sits for cheap.

best SOHC modular would be a 4.6 or 5.4 3v.

best 2V 4.6's for the money are from your local u-pull-it, and as it has been said before, come out of Explorer's/Mountaineer's.

Same with the Teksid blocks, they had 2 MarkVIII's last time I was there. We grabbed the e-fan for $10.

Alright Cameron, you have my attention.

What is the difference between a 4.6 long block and short block...if there is any? Please proceed to have diareahha of the mouth because you know how I am with 2v weight reduction.
(I'm at 3090, help me loose 90 lbs.)

A shotblock is the block, crank, rods and pistons.

A longblock adds the heads, cam(s) and timing chain(s).

These are common terms for all engines. They are not referring to the length of any particular engine.
