Where to buy a used 4.0?

[rick72_us]

Do any of you have an idea where I can find a good used 4.0 for a 2002-2003 Explorer? I've broken a valve spring on mine for the third time and this time it bent the valve. I'm either going to have to pull the engine and get the heads reworked or just do an engine swap. I checked with several salvage yards, but haven't found one that I'm sure would be much of an improvement over what I have.

Look on Craigslist, you can find anything on there!

Call Pam’s in St.Cloud , MN 800 -560-7336 and make a reasonable offer and negotiate a good price.

I'd try all the above-mentioned ideas.

I was lucky with locating a verified low mile 4.6 for my ride through Car-part.com. The yard owner was flexible on price and shipping was taken care by him as well.

When using this website don't limit your search to local areas. Do a nationwide search as shipping is typically reasonable.

Good luck.
