5.4 Engine Fire
So, im looking to buy a 5.4 shortblock that has been in an engine fire, my question is, could the fire have possibly ruined the shortblock, or anything i may need to assemble my motor?
Thanks in advance |
I think it comes down to how bad or hot was the fire? If it was just a little fuel line fire or something like that, then you would be fine. If the vehicle burnt to the ground then I would say No way! General rule of thumb, stay away from burnt parts.

if any aluminum melted then the fire was definitely too hot.
|
Is 450 sounding to good to be true for the short block alone? I had called and asked some questions, he didn't know much more than it had 69,000 miles on the block and the top half, heads, etc were a loss in the fire?
|
yeah if it melted the heads... pass
|
where would you recommend buying the short block?
