On FB i see a 4.6 from a 2005. It had the timing guide break and caused pistons to come in contact with valve train on one head, according to the seller.
They want 80 bucks for it with everything but the alt and ac. everything else would be attached to engine yet.
Is this compatible with aurora when it comes to the ever so loved swap? And is this worth it? Would block be okay?(Im guessing aurora heads could be used, just bored?) or would it be too much
Thoughts?
