Good luck! Always loved 6.0Ls.

I know we spoke before about this but I'd suggest.

RCD EGR Delete Kit(Best price when I bought one was eBay)
ARP Studs(Best price when I bought one was eBay)
Blue Spring FPR Spring (I can get you one for cheap)
4" Turbo Back Straight Pipe
Zoodad Mod with Airaid Filter
CCV Mod
Rev X Treatment each oil change
Change Coolant Cap
Cetane Booster each tank(Ford sells it for like 10 bucks, treats 10 tanks IIRC)

I ould alsoe reccomend the 6.4 banjo's. Thease are the bolts that go thru the fuel lines on the front of the heads. They have a thru hole with a larger orifices in the sides. I reccomend pulling the oil cooler and replacing it. Also dont forget a coolant filter along with running Cat Delo coolant. Do not use the Ford Gold. Its might be beneficial to replace the rocker retainers while your doing head gaskets.

Banjo bolts were ordered even though a lot guys say they do nothing? Can't hurt and they were only $10 so I got them, I am replacing the oil cooler, HPOP screen, stc, getting a coolant filter from IPR. Sounds like it filters 100% unlike the other coolant filters. I've started a list.
Jferg, I'm not pulling the engine, it runs great so I'm just tearing down to the short block. Stud it and put a loooooot of new parts in her.
