We got a quote to replace the 3.0 in a 2000 Ranger with a Long block and turn key for $3086.00 with 3 year 100,000 mile warranty. What do you guys think? Good price?

Wooooh. $1000 per litre? That quote would have me looking for a new truck. What part of the country do you live in?

You could get a Jasper reman for that price and they have a reputation second to none. I think a Ford crate engine will run about $800 more.
Unless the body and everything else is in perfect condition, spending that kind of cabbage is a waste of money.

I think you are paying for that warrenty. The engine shouldn't be that much. I'd hapily install a good junkyard motor for a third that price.
