Based on a diag from a ford dealership, Cylinder#8 is down to 41% and they recommend that I replace the long block assembly. I am hoping I dont need a new/used engine but in case I do, does anyone know a good place to look?
Thanks in advance

When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.

Rebuild what you have, get it out of the dealership. Could be the cylinder 8 valve failure due to poor cooling flow. It over heats and the valve gets bent.

thanks, its out of the dealership, getting a "second opinion" as we speak
I'd get that thing to a Marauder specialist asap! There are great many on this forum...they'll fix past and future issues.

so another mechanic I took it to is telling me that the valve dropped and did some damage to the cylinder head. He is saying about $3500 to repair which seems high to me.
Head and intake have to come off at a minimum, and.... if that motor has miles, you may as well remove the front dress and replace the guides tensioner’s and chains, it would be easier and cheaper to find a used motor and R&I it, only 10ish hours to do that.

Bottom line, if this is work you yourself cannot do, it will cost $$$.

Whatever you do, you need to do the head cooling mod. Cyl.7 and 8 have a low flow passage of and overtime overheats and did what yours has done.
