my engine went so now im looking for a rebuild or replacement. I found a used one from a junkyard that was supposedly factory rebuilt three years ago. they say they know this from a "stamp" on it. is a factory rebuild any better than a normal one, and should it still be decent after 3 years (assuming it was taken care of reasonably)?
price on it is 1500 shipped with a 90 day warenty, let me know if im about to waste my money

WAY over priced.

That's in the price range of a new rebuilt motor.

$500-$600, MAYBE for a motor with that story.

I agree. Even if it's been factory rebuilt, you have no way to know WHEN it was rebuilt. And if it's been so well taken care of, why is it in the junkyard?
Treat it just like any other junkyard engine.

killed several junkyard engines (Fords) in his early days...

That should be about the price of a factory rebuild from the Dealership.

1500 is way too much for a junkyard engine...like faster7 said, you can get a brand new rebuilt one for that price and probably a longer warrenty.
