I find it funny that only use 4-5 members (MyFx4, Fordmotor, Carcrazy, 4x4dave, Jbrew) are the only people who ever talk about engine upgrades or performance. I mean we occasionally get the 16year old who is putting three supercharges on his stock truck, but it all seriousness I think when completed alot of people will view our threads and get idea of their own.

Haha I picked those up yesterday. But I have a massive amount of parts coming in from MMR. $87 worth of shipping parts lol (I got free shipping tho)
Unfortunately, machine shop never called so most likely ill see the engine on monday considering I work all day tomorrow and they're probably closed sunday.
And I dont expect to be done by probably july or august. Its gonna take me some time to actually swap the engine in considering I work close to 50 hours a week and have never done an engine swap before. Im in no rush even though us talking about it only makes me want it done more lol

Yeah I have the knowledge and ability to do it. I know which parts need coming off and so forth its just the fact that ive never done it before ill be a little bit slow. Body lift should help with bellhousing bolts etc to release it from transmission. Its best to remove the intake manifold first right?
