Hello my name is bill I'm from Central pa I recently bought a 1999 Gt with 40k on the milage well here I didn't know they starve themselves of the oil return and got on it and my thermostat stuck I didn't know it then I got on it a bit and it started clicking now I haven't got to run the car all year yet got the motor pulled I need crank and King bearings for the 4.6 V8 Windsor and if it matters the motor it's outta Canada so with that I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. So with the health problems and stuff I have going on between the time and not having the money can anyone at all point me in the direction of a good but yet cheap prices crankshaft please I don't got much but would love to have my black beauty running again any information would be deeply appreciated thanks in advance

Buy a crank that has spun a bearing. Buy it for cheap ~$100. Turn the crank 0.010 on the rods and the mains and use 0.010" under bearings. The rest of the rebuild is going to cost you thousands of dollars. You seem to indicate that you don't have that kind of money to spend. If that is true then you will be financially unable to rebuild your engine. Either set the project aside until you have the money or sell the car and buy a different car. All the in-between options have unhappy endings waiting for you.
