Need a new motor 460BBF

New Tow Rig (needs motor)

I picked up a 85 ford F-350 Crew cab long box 4x4 for free a few months ago. It has a siezed 460. Would like to put a new engine in it and want to know if anyone has any suggestions on where I can get a motor.
I have looked at US engines Long block for $1696, my uncle bought a 350sbc from them 7yrs ago and it still runs strong with no smoke.
Seen a couple adds on craigslist for guys rebuilding 460's for $1600.
I would like to get a rebuilt long block for under 2K, what do you think?


EDIT: I decide to make this the build thread.

I have an F250 I'm selling whole. Rebuilt 460 with less than 10k on the rebuild.

Hi compression pistons, RV cam, brand new carb. Runs great. Also has a rebuilt C6 transmission with a towing package upgrade on it.

New radiator and alternator to boot...

$2k for the entire truck. Located in Bonney Lake.
