Awesome news. I need more Oem hardware for the swap. Not necessarily arp studs so do you think he would be able to help?

I've never been so wishy washy about how to build a Mod motor. Trucks are a strange new world for me.
My SCREW's a little bitch towing a 28 footer and I'm trying to find the happiest spot for Towing ability and my own sanity. The 4v is a wash since I won't get anymore Tq than I have now without raising the powerband. (I'm saving that for the Cobra next year.) If I would have known my wife wanted to start RV camping and Boating I would have bought a new Diesel but this is where I'm at now.
I think I'm going with 9.6-10.1 compression, mild head work, 24# injectors to have more tuning in the top range, MPH Torquer cams and OBX shorties.
I may end up caving on the blower next year if I can't get the feel of towing performance I want.
I've only towed the 28 footer once this year and it's my only experience towing with a little truck. I really wish there were more "quality" diesel conversions out there to mimic.
..just ranting in your thread.

Well I was looking for a lightning but theres a sweet 2002 mustang GT roller that crossed my path. Went ahead and bought it. Shes getting the 5.4 4V. So I regret I must sell my blower...if anyone knows anyone. No I will not put it in the mustang and be "that" guy lol
