CR should be 9.2 or 9.3 to 1. 44 CC heads, 30cc dish. These are the 5.4 pistons that sit higher in the hole and have the lower ring so it really screws with the CR.
You should have forged crank, all 5.4 have forged cranks.
Negative, some, by 25% I think did have cast. I use to work at the plant that builds them having to know by codes which was cast vs forged. Plus, the plant that casted them was right next door, that helps too!!
You gota love the UPS man!!!! Christmas is coming early, got these yesterday. Rings are on the way as well along with a new custom water pump pulley from ASP Racing that will allow me to increase my crank pulley in order to get the necessary RPM and PSI out of the Vortech.
derrick, you've got some quality parts man, what vortech head unit are you running ???

Sorry, this is all I have for now...parts still keep showing up. Block is still at the machine shop. I'm in no rush though, there is still some progress being made for the cams used with the TF heads. So, I'm waiting it out to see what develops there. Because the valves changed a little in the heads, there is some room for improvement with custom ground cams.
I'm getting a little closer, I know you all are tired of seeing parts and no assembly.
Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump
Timing Cover Painted with Heat Resistant Aluminum Paint
Precision Oil Pumps Melling Pump
I'm curious to see how this pump works.....their work seems impressive and read a lot of good things about the owner and his background.
Quote:
MELLING 4.6 FORD SOHC OIL PUMP, Blueprinted by PRECISION OIL PUMPS. The pump is a brand new Melling FORD 4.6 SOHC pump #M176. Each pump is disassembled in groups of ten, The passages radiused and blended by hand. The Housings & gears are Deburred by a vibratory polisher then cleaned. Gears are then sprayed with TECH-LINE moly-coating and oven curred. Three Critical Clearances are checked on reassembly;(1)Gear to Housing,(2)Mesh or Backlash,(3) Gear to Cover-Plate. With Ten gear sets to choose from, One set with correct clearances will be installed. The relief valve is deburred with emmory-cloth and is re-installed with the existing spring & new hardware, Each cover plate is also deburred and is fastened with aircraft quality bolts. Also included is a High-Pressure shim (can be added after installation)if you need more pressure. All pumps are bench tested.
I also picked up a Canton 7qt oil pan and windage tray.
Bear with me..won't be too much longer before you get to see some assembly.

slow progress but getting there.....apparently my machinist took a little vacation. should be back tomorrow and then I'll start putting some pressure on him to get the block done. Not too many parts left to buy, just waiting to find out what happens with the cams after they have time to do some testing.
I saw that thread a week or so ago.....I'm starting to get antsy...I did stop by the machine shop today and he had the block up on the stand starting to work on it. Should be done by Friday I hope.....
I'm not sure quite yet on the cams. I've got 2 people I'm talking to but not sure which one I'm going with yet.
