Just did a search on google on outrageous perfomance motors and guess what? nothing came up.

If you are here to save your reputation (a completely futile effort), try starting with an intelligent response. If you can't compose an intelligent post, why should I trust your ability to build an engine?

Here is a list of missing parts and stuff done wrong. The list keeps getting bigger. This is what I have so far. Will update the more I know
The oil slinger that goes on the crank behind the rear main seal(missing)
Rear main was a mess
The crank has several deep grooves in it
Oil was a light browish green color
Kind of like the milkshake color when coolant mixes with oil
The springs look stock, but not 100% sure on that
Used block ( paid for a new one)
Lower end has main bolts, not studs
Header gaskets were all leaking
Wrong header gasket used(was not a Ford gasket)
Header bolts stripped in heads
Nuts and bolts in wrong places
Here is more stuff found today:
The timing cover is broken
Midplate between the motor and trans was mangled, and the converter studs were hitting it
Heads were supposed to have mild porting. Intake & Exhaust were untouched.
And the latest
Here is a good one: All the spark plugs were seized in the heads

The oil slinger that goes on the crank behind the rear main seal(missing) Show picture of that please
Rear main was a mess what do you mean? was it leaking?
The crank has several deep grooves in it again, pics would be nice
Oil was a light browish green color
Kind of like the milkshake color when coolant mixes with oil Did it lift a head? how much boost were you running?
The springs look stock, but not 100% sure on that Any news on that?
Used block ( paid for a new one) Typical
Lower end has main bolts, not studs Not good if you paid for studs
Header gaskets were all leaking
Wrong header gasket used(was not a Ford gasket) So because they arent Ford gaskets, they are wrong? Most header companies supply their own gasket FYI
Header bolts stripped in heads stripped in installation or during removal?
Nuts and bolts in wrong places
Here is more stuff found today:
The timing cover is broken again, pics would be nice
Midplate between the motor and trans was mangled, and the converter studs were hitting it What midplate? the flexplate that the converter bolts to or the shimplate that goes over the block dowells? how could the converter studs hit that? Pics?
