you need to remember that under boost intakes act differently




FYI faster150 is building a 4.6, well he's been collecting parts for around 4-5 years now

If your not looking for the satisfaction of building each piece yourself, I'd go with their shortblocks, save your money and spend it on the other parts. They are tough too, there are a lot of them around, and I've not heard of one single issue.
My grandpa has an aluminum short block sittin in his garage.... think he said it was originally like $3500 is that the block that ur talkin about? an aluminum 4.6L?

Also to the OP you will not be able to delete the upstream o2 sensors.
why can i not delete the 02 sensors? im not talkin about just getting rid of them im talkin about totally removing the code for it in the PCM and everything

as tarajerame said you can delete the rear o2's with a tune but you cant do the fronts since they are the ones the pcm uses to mess with the a/f ratio
