I'd love to do this one day but I need another form of reliable transportation before that day. Parts are so shiny!

I'll keep driving the truck up till I decide to swap the engine over to the 5.4. Even then my truck is lucky to see 400 miles a month and when it does, it's in the matter of a couple days.

Got the 5.4 pulled out of the spare truck and most of the way tore down today. Off to the machine shop soon.

Engine should be torn down by Friday night, wife has class tomorrow so I'm with the kids from the time I get off work till 11 tomorrow. By then it's bed time for all of us. As a side note, I do have a forged crank in it

It other very easy to use a gt500 blower in place where a factory lightning Eaton will be a direct bolt on.
