Ya will take a while still waiting on engine harness from a 6.0 engine off an f250 because the 4.5 uses a heavy duty set up so no obd2 connection! Also hopefully picking up the head gaskets and head studs for a 6.0 because they got the 4.5 just have to cut 2 cylinders out! Only get weekend for the most part to work on this thing! Work at dealer then work our farm after so not a bunch of time to spare like I would like! It's a winter project for a reason and might take that long who knows

Well got some new parts in today still waiting on some! ARP studs and gaskets came in as well as the EGR delete and coolant filter kit! Waiting on new solid engine mounts that are bigger and CNC cut out by my buddy! Exhaust manifolds set out to copy and make bigger as well alter the turbo location! Doing a single turbo instead of the compounds it came with! Hope to have all parts by next weekend on my 21st birthday and have it done to drive to thanksgiving car show! Just want it running and driving by then!

I though the 4bt would be the coolest. Just changed my mind.

No new pictures yet! Haven't got engine tore down yet! Waiting till next week to have all the parts! Don't want it sitting disassembled and getting dust in it! Also have wait on fitment of some custom parts rather than assembling it a few times! Will keep at it! Gone this weekend so hope to be able to work on it next week and have the engine at least disassembled and ready to redo all the stuff I want to do

Hopefully this will help you eager ones for pictures! New boost piping just need to measure, cut, and install!

Are you using a F250 PCM?
