He stated that he got the engine for Powertrain out of Dallas. I looked into an engine for my 04 F150. Short Block $3200 (not a bad price). I would guess that he probably dropped around $6000 (not counting his own time since he owns the shop). $6000 + $2000 for the vehicle = $8000. Now the vehicle is basically new and can be ran for another 200,000 miles.
