So... Why did #7 lost compression? They should have done a leak down test to make sure it's a valve issue and not a ring issue.
If it is a valve issue, I'd go ahead and just drop on a reman'd head. Or have the head rebuilt local. But you'd want to change injectors at the same time, because a bad injector is about the only way to burn up a valve or valve seat.
If it's rings, I think a reman motor is the way to go. The Ford complete remans are a pretty good deal for what you get. Just don't do it at a dealer. They charge to much. The Ford remans have a 3-year unlimited mile warranty, and warranty work can be done at any Ford dealer even if a Ford dealer didn't install it.
