you better apply for a salesman to be able to sell the 4 thread heads lol but I know he's not wanting pound out 700hp like a lot of people that want navi heads..so they should do him fine a sweet 400-500hp
Edit: but yeah that will be a sweet ride if he does it

Ya it would stay NA, stock with flattops and a coyote intake. Maybe mustang 4v cams. I've just about got him sold. Here's comes a rant. I remember when I was little saying I wanted to be a salesman because I could memorize facts about every motorcycle, atv, and dirt bike. Now, every salesman I encountered is a HS dropout, class A dbag. My girlfriend went in to our local dealership to get warranty work on her car. She, as well as my friend who is a gm tech there, informed both managers it needed to be done by 11. They said problem. I witnessed it as well. She got there at 8:30 and sat until 12 when they finally brought it out. She was an Hr late to her grandmothers funeral which she was dressed up for. Three salesman sat down with her "to keep her company" and basically hit on her. (One who was over 18yrs older than her and friends with her father.) I told her dad and he is no longer allowed to come over lmao. Well the dealership played dumb saying they forgot her time constraint. Their own technician (my friend who made the appointment) tore both managers a new one. She called me crying because three salesman wouldn't leave her alone and she missed her grandma's funeral. I called and complained to their general manger as well as the regional General Motors management. They said and I quote, " they encourage their salesman to socialize with people in the waiting room"

I said that is interesting since I've been there in several occasions and never once got a second looks while your salesman played Xbox. Also, on the busiest sales day of the week, three of your 4 salesman can take several hrs out of their day to "attend" to my girlfriends waiting need.
Well apparently this hasn't been the first complaint about this dealership because my friend said sales got a memo from corporate on appropriate conduct and the regional manager has made some unexpected drop ins

Goal is to have the truck drivable with the blower by jan 1st. Dropped the drive line off at the machine shop to get cut down for the new flanges.

I also picked up a navigator PCM for cheap if anyone needs one.

The truck is getting mufflers or just the caddy?


Also fun fact: the 1st Gen Koenigsegg CCR Swedish supercar uses the ford 4.6 4v engine to power it making over 806 hp from the factory
