Rebuild Time
Thats nice stuff I have the same stuff in my motor right now you will like it. It is a little louder the first start up in the morning, after that sound allmost like the stock pistons, maybee just a tad louder.
This is what the pistons, and head studs will look like when you get them in.

Here is a pic of the bare heads bolted on

Hey Don why the bare heads did you have some port work done maybe larger valves?
J15BIG It took alot of cussing LOL. It wasn't to hard but definitly the tightest fitting engine I have pulled in a F-150. Get a engine puller, remove the blower and intake, remove the powersteering pump and ac pump. lift up the engine then unbolt the oil cooler/filter relocater. Remove the radiator and hood then pull out the engine. you will have to tilt it almost 90 deg to get it out unless you remove the front clip. Be carefull of the AC condenser pull it if you can or risk smashing it like the ford mechanic did here when they replaced my first engine and then they didn't replace it even after I told them I was going to pull my engine. I have a whole box of parts Ford has to buy me because there mechanic butchered my truck.

That looks sweet Don and I considered having some port work done but I think we can only go so far with the stock heads. I think this winter I will try to get some Cobra heads to slap on. Do you have any flow numbers on the heads? Have you ran it at the track yet?
