WTB Block
Looking for 4.0, or P38 4.6 engine block in good condition.
My 04 D2 has 3 sleeves leaking coolant into the cylinders, and they have been pinned.
I also have no machine shops within several hours that could install top hat sleeves.
I only need a block with bearing caps, but would consider a short block.
Anyone have anything for sale?
I'm in Va, and can no longer find anything local.
I'm also Not spending money on a Turner short block, and have not seen remanufactured or sleeved blocks for sale individually. I have too much money in new parts, reman heads, cam, bearings, etc, to consider a complete used engine(which is too big a gamble anyway).
The LS swap also looks great, but way more than I'm willing to spend on this thing.
My D2 is otherwise dead and scrap metal.
Thanks for any help.

Anyone familiar with these guys and their parts?
I hate the idea of buying a used engine or block to start with, and we all know why.
I just don't want to spend a fortune to fix it.
$795 shipped for this block.
Opinions??
Thanks

I responded to his CL ad for LR parts yesterday.
It was email only. His response was that they sell all their engines to Atlantic British.
The block in the link above looks like my only option, as I've been searching for quite a while now with no luck.

you can have my entire parts truck, complete with the engine that was running when i parked it a year ago, for the cost of transporting it from ny. i have no idea how much that would be or if that would be of any use to you. engine has about 175k miles on it. i didn't notice any real wear when i did the head gaskets about 6 months before i decided not to maintain that truck and harvest it, but i did not touch the bottom end.

Thank you sir!
I would love to come and get it, but unfortunately I don't have the time for the trip right now.
Would be roughly 12 hrs or more each way.
But thank you very much anyway!

I ordered the block in the link above, and I'm waiting to hear back from Lucky8 with an invoice for the list of gaskets and head studs I sent.
Hopefully that should be everything I need to get this thing running again, everything but the time to do it, lol.
