Is there anyone out there that has a good used 3.9 V8 for an 2004 Lincoln LS. I think I might have thrown a bearing or seized something in my motor. Will know more by tomorrow once I get my car towed to my fathers shop, but keeping my options open for the worst possible scenario.
Anyone Selling 3.9L

Don’t forget the 4 year part of the warranty, that clock could have started in 2003. (4 year or 50k miles)
Yeah I called Lincoln today it's not under warranty any more it had 70k on it. My fathers shop has an account through robertsons from one of the above post, and they said they would give them the motor for $1,000.00. No the decision is do I do any work to the motor since it is already out?

04 with 70k miles, mines is a 2000 and thats the mileage it has. Damn ..
"do I do any work to the motor since it is already out?"
If it was mine, I wouldn't, unless money is no object. You've already got 10.75 to 1 compression which is more than my 289/271 Mustang had. $400 more will get you an Xcal3 with three tunes, then you could spend some more and have it fine tuned on a DYNO. You could do nitrous if you wanted to spend even more. I believe this would be easier than tearing into your motor.
