Wow this has to be close to a record.
We started at wrenching 7:30 AM after driving 5 hours with a short nap
Had the Motor and tranny out in 6 hours took a lunch break got back for the install of a JLP block with worked heads and cams and a Level 10 tranny with PI converter as well as a complete exhaust change. We finished at 2:30 AM the next day. Had a quick breakfast and drove 5 hours back. I just woke after an 11 hour nap and have not hurt like this since basic training.

Special thanks to : Mrgadget, Roll Barred, and V8rumbl for the marathon wrench session.

Sorry about the images everyone was a bit shaky.

Its way to loud and I am going to change the exhaust up some this week to try and keep me out of trouble. The tuning will happen late this week or next week.

 

 

 

nice job.

Did the motor & tranny have to come out seperately?

 

Yes
It was so smooth it didn't touch a thing. Ford replace the 1st motor under warranty and we found all kinds of things they messed up. This went 100% smooth. I will be rechacking things when i can move again.

 

HI!... Don't think it's a recored. JMC and I pulled my old engine/trans in 2.5 hours and installed the new built 5.4 in 3 hours. So 5.5 hours total here. I bet there are many that can beat my time. BTW I did mine in the driveway with no air tools.

 

Ok that is just nuts.

I know where we lost a few hours and lunch and we did slow down by the end of the day but 5.5 hours is amazing. We didn't use air but on a hand full of things. The lift was the big help ( thanks boca ron )..

 

Is that Roll barred's motor? That garage pic looks familiar.

 

Yea. That was a sad thing to see.
Didn't I get slicks from you last year?

 

Yep

 

Thats AWESOME!!! cangrats on the "new" truck!

Could I ask what kind of wheels you have on the truck? Those look awesome!
Also, how do you like the ZEX system?

Again congrats!

 

Wow, good deal!!

 

What did you do for an exhaust that made is too loud????

 

The wheels are Boyd Timeless with nitto dr's

I have not sprayed it yet but would recommend the race tested kit over any other nitrous kit form what i have seen and the support they give.
