Default need a new long block

My 2002 disco 2 has a warped block. I need to find a good long block without secondary air. I don't have $7000 for a new one. Any sugestions are welcome. I have coolant coming from my exhaust and busted head gaskets. Please HELP! Ps has anyone used blue devil sealer? If so what your experience with it?

Where are you located?

I have a 4.0 block in good shape. I'm located just outside of Philadelphia. Interested?

I'm in dfw tx, how many miles? Do you have any service records? How much? Is it with or without secondary air? Can you send me VIN please?

You're better off contacting a local salvage yard. Shipping from Pa will cost just as much as the block itself.

Also, whether it has secondary air or not doesn't make any difference. The only change between the two engines was the heads, and even if you get one with secondary air you can just weld up the brass looking SAI plugs.

Rebuild Short blocks are appropriately $4000.

If you are in dallas, I get parts from Import Direct in Ft. Worth. They will have your low-mileage engine. Look up their number, call and they will have a few waiting for you to choose from.
