Glenn,
tried to mail you but got errors. Here is some info.
Rebuilding is really up to your mechanical skills. I had a few
extra bucks and decided to buy rebuilds ($2400.00 Ea). But doing it yourself
would be much cheaper. My "Piston Slap" turned into a large hole in the
block when the rod let go. They are infamous for coolant leaks, either from
the coolant reservoir into the exhaust or the dreaded "Cam Seal" leak.
Here is a web site for everything you ever wanted to know about the 3.7
www.breezeworks.net. Check the discussion boards. Lots of good info.

I was told by my mechanic that these are not very good engines. Does
anyone
how any comments? Are they difficult to rebuild? Expensive?

I currently have two in a Carver. Just bought rebuilds from Jasper. You
can buy parts fro these from auto as they are just a Ford 460 cut in half.
460 pistons, lifters,heads,( the standard 460 head has to have a hole
drilled to be used).
They are strong and are one of the most fuel efficient engines in their
class. If you do have to replace blocks then they are very expensive. Hope
this helps
