yes...and I am psyched....runs like a new car ...my focus engine had 64,000 miles...its great...found it for $350 and installed for $600...almost thinking about buying a backup to have for next time...I think we are in the sweet spot time wise to still be able to find good low mile motors ...this will erode with time.

 

Good luck

If a specialty market develops, where a small displacement crate engine becomes a high demand item....... Same way people still buy Chevy 350 & Ford 302.  You never know what the future holds.  Though I suspect the demand will be for something like a Honda VTEC crate engine.  Maybe you can add a Honda engine to your Ford.....

302 and 350 crate engines are popular (and are big sellers) because they fit into so many '50's, '60's and '70's cars which so many Baby Boomers are restoring.  I just don't see Ford or Chevy marketing a small 4 cylinder crate engine which would only fit a handful of modern vehicles like our TC 's   -    They'd be lucky to sell a dozen of them per year

 

Dave replaced his TC engine with a used $350 low mileage unit  -  I doubt he would have been interested in a brand new $3K engine, even if one was available
