For a while, I've been debating whether I should go a different route performance-wise with the Marauder. A recent valve train noise and a good deal on a forged engine has motivated me to make the change. I will be selling almost everything engine-related out of my current 2004 Mercury Marauder setup. With the performance items (minus the ported intake) listed below, headers, exhaust, and gears, I ran a best ET of 13.5, a best MPH of 101, and a best 60' of 1.8. I want to sell quickly, but the Marauder and Crown Vic communities will have first dibs. All parts (except transmission, transmission pan, Cobra exhaust manifolds, and battery backup siren) are in used condition, no warranties / guarantees can be provided, buyer will be responsible for shipping, and only non-CC paypal can be accepted. With that said, the big ticket items are OBO.

[Sold!] 2004 Marauder Long Block ( $1000 obo )
Engine has approximately 77,000 miles on it and was well maintained. For the last 50k miles, it has received:
Mobil 1 oil and a Wix filter every ~2.5k miles
Motorcraft plugs every ~10k miles
Wix fuel filter every ~10k miles
K&N air filter cleaning every ~10k miles
Motorcraft Gold coolant every ~20k miles
Currently, the engine has what appears to be a passenger side head noise
Faint noise began >~10k miles ago
Was advised to leave it alone until it became more pronounced
Current noise is a loud tapping / clanking noise that comes and goes
Sometimes it's loud and can be heard from in the cab
Other times it can't even be heard from the engine bay
A Mustang performance shop and local dealership both decided the noise was likely from the upper engine after listening to it
Another performance shop said they've experienced similar noises, which had been related to the valve train
The exact problem is unknown, but the plugs checked out fine, the oil was changed and nothing unusual was spotted, oil pressure was fine, and there was no noticeable loss in power
Above price will include short block, heads, valve and coil covers, and water pump
Will sell fully dressed for an extra $400, which will include:
Alternator, idlers, tensioners
Coil packs, plugs
Full intake, throttle body, inlet tube w/ MAF
