Also what do you guys think about a used one? They are pretty expensive and money is tight right now. Anyone know of a sight to get a used one besides the junk yards?

Thanks

Not possible.

I wouldn't buy a used one unless you're sure it's low mileage, high quality brand, and in good condition. Since all that is about impossible on a gen II anymore, I would rather see you get a new off shore cheapie from eBay for about $50. I wouldn't use one of those either, but if money is tight, it may be your only option. You can usually find a Timken (good quality) for about $150 IIRC.
 






Ditto. Not possible.
 






Check with factory motor parts ther in portland the motorcraft one is bout $215 or a cheep powertrain one for $140
 






The last Timken I got from Autozone, $155
