Model: 1996 TAURUS 3.4L COMPLETE
The list price on this engine is $7,642.50 with core return.
We use a 'like for like' exchange program which means that we require the same type castings to be returned to us as the unit we sent out to you. As long as there are no visible external holes or cracks there is no core fee. We do require the exchange core to be returned within 30 days of the original sale date. If there would be external damage half the core deposit would be charged back.
The Complete version will be completely remanufactured using a new set of internal parts: pistons, rings, bearings and timing components, valves, valve springs, retainers and lifters. All other castings and components will be remanufactured back to OEM specifications. The engine will be reassembled and live run tested with checks on oil pressure, water temperature and vacuum. This engine includes the block, head(s), oil pump and pan, timing cover and finishing gaskets.

UPDATES: CAMS PINNED-To prevent cam from shifting in head, thus preventing catastrophic cam failure.
