How much for a reman long block 7.3 ?

[ramswarooprao]

Hi,

What is a reasonable exchange price for a reman long block for the powerstroke 7.3? I have a blown motor and am shopping around for a reman long block - and prices are all over the place..
Are there any differences I should look for?

Here's a few

PROMAR long block - 3 yr unlimited warranty - 5K
Promar Precision Engines

Roadmaster rebuilt long block - 12 months unlimited miles - 4.2K
Ford Rebuilt Engine List

Precision engine rebuilders long block - 12 months unlimited miles - 3.6k
Ford, Lincoln, & Mercury Engines

South houston engine rebuilders long block - 18 months/? - 3k
Products

Any suggestions? Are any of these vendors known nationally?

Good lord why??? They will throw the same crappy PMR rods in it that Ford did, same crappy bearings and pistons...

I would get a junkyard motor before buying one from Ford. 11k last time I priced one
