Thanks I knew you could....

 

Silver_2000_! I trimmed out much of the CRAP that had started in this thread.

Please have enough repsect for your fellow members and the Supporting vendors who work ahrd to offeryou options to NOT drag this back into the toilet ...

Doug

Thank you Doug, I do appreiciate that and i'm sure 99% of our members do too... JL

 

Johnny and Doug, I apologize. I realize this post is not the place for that. No harm meant.

 

No problem here fomocofan,

you were just getting caught up in the same old little trap that was set before you..No harm done. JL

 

JL, I wasn't bashing you at all, I hope you realize that, I was just sharing some of what I had learned and repeatedly stated both blocks were good and your's was the best for the money... I hope no offense was taken, some others got personal.

35thpony: I understand it wasn't you that started the CRAP! We all know who that was...JL

That is about the most informative post about an engine I've read on here in a LONG TIME!

I would like to ask that you run this IDENTICAL deal same time, next year. I'll buy one. (gotta get back to studying for the bar)

 

I know their cigarettes sure are high in Jersey. My wife and I were returning home from NJ after picking up the truck at JDM. We stopped at a gas station to fill up right outside of Freehold when we noticed this sign.



We both cracked up laughing thinking it was a joke but it was for real. A carton in our neck of the woods is only $25 tops. I don't know if NJ taxes are that ridiculous on everything else but if it is I don't see how people could afford to live there. I would definitely have to quit smoking if I lived there.

Keep in mind JDM also employs 11 people and that can be very expensive. As busy as they stay, he needs every one of them.

 

As a matter of fact so informative and honest was that post I ordered mine today! And topped it all off with new heads and the Stage 2 cams!
John thanks again for your help! You and your wife Sue were most considerate. You answered all my questions and gave me the info I needed to make a knowledgeable decision with no pressure whatsoever. What you had to say and offer certainly reassured me. This is a major expense for most of us and can create a good amount of anxiety both financially and emotionally. You helped to dismiss a good amount of that. And I can now say I’m really looking forward to having a new (much stronger) heart beating in my “L”.

 

thnder, I see that you are in California also, who is going to do the install on your JLP Block? Just curious since I just purchased an 04 and I live in Gardena CA. I am interested in a small block in the future, but need someone to do the install.

 

Well actually. I’m in So. Oregon at present and not So. California. I kinda travel between the two a few times a year. Considering your situation I’d get on Socalloc.com and make a post there for some local info. There are plenty of guys on that board help you find someone close that could competently do the work.
As for me luckily I have an SVT Ford dealer close by that is doing a cab off install. He’s using my lifters and rockers and setting up the cams all for $1500! ( More than reasonable for a dealer IMHO.) Plus there’s no Sales Tax in Oregon!!!!

Good Luck on your project.

I just drove an L with a JLP motor. Built sb, cnc heads, stage 2 cams, 8# lower. 2.75 upper ect.
All the work was done by JL and all I have to say is . The truck runs like a raped ape and has to be one of the smoothest motors I've ever felt. I sure who ever buys one his motor combos will be VERY happy.

 

I just got back from from my friends garage and we got started on removing the motor in my truck. It would go a lot faster if I could stop staring at the JLP shortblock that is sitting on the engine stand ready to go in.
