    F60 shortblock?

    Debating buying an F60 shortblock, rebuilt one of course! Any out there? Cost? I have the small gearcase, contact info? Might not be soon but by next spring, don't have a boat for this now. Crank bearings seized up a bit, lots of noise but can still crank over. Plugs looked good, so...
