My 430 is very close to needing a rebuild. I can't do this myself, and found a reputable rebuilder near me.
BUT, he hasn't done a 430 before, and I need some advice from anyone on a few things before I see him on Monday.
1. Can the engine be removed without removing the tranny with it? He seems to think so -- is that true?
2. Where is the best source for the rebuild kit. I see that some have new pistons, and valve train -- is that the only way to go?
3. Is the 430 kit for the Lincoln the same?
4. In addition to a new oil pump and timing chain, what new stuff do I need while the engine is apart?
P.S. If anyone who has rebuilt the 430 (or had it rebuilt) and willing to talk to me via phone -- please send me a PM.
Thanks
