Very nice, can't believe you got it at that price!

Well, that's cool, - I'm sure that will be allot of fun.

Better build that tranny

Congrats :santa:

 

Unfortunately the goats were hunted down in the pasture last night and the coyote got them. The lama had a heat stroke the following days since the farmer in the sombrero forgot to give her water, so I fired him (hats gone). Kids ate all the popcorn and the neighbors monkey robbed the house last night and took the last banana so I'm going to have to pass on the trade.

On the serious side..
Indeed. Cleanest I've ever seen. Congrats. Going to be a big step from that 4.6L

 

you should give me your old engine

im very jealous tho, 3k is a great deal!

 

I was offered a job (actually two) with AER in Carrolton TX shortly after I retired from Ford. We did a lot of Dyno testing for them with their reman engines. Recognized the plastic engine crate yours is sitting on right away. Their reman engines held up to testing just as good as brand new engines,they do good work. Nice engine you have there. Take care,

 

time to rip that thing apart and change the rods at the very least

 

I know it, that one could sell for 5k pretty easy IMO.

If it were me, I'd find a trans and have it built. Rear end as well. Better order your tune

 

Are they that bad?

 

I'm gonna be keeping the motor pretty stock though...not going to up the boost much or anything. Might do a pulley swap and tune, but I would think the rods should hold up on a pretty much stock motor.

And yes, I'm either going to pick up another tranny and have it built or have mine built during the swap.

I have an edge already...do you think I can send it in to PHP and they can load the correct tune on it? Or do I need to buy another programmer?

 

I hate you rhett. haha trade you the lift for it haha.

whats with everyone getting a blown 5.4 these days i want one

 

Your definitely going to need different tunes. I'm not sure how they do it now, you'll have to call PHP or go to their site.

They might have Livewire, = download files online. Yea, you'll have to inquire. Start a thread about it here for answers -

a kick down from 4th to 2nd will break 'em easily

same as a WOT shift from 3rd into 4th







they are the same crappy powder cast rods the other 5.4 truck motors get

 

yes they are! ha ive seen them thrown through the block!


btw.........youre a lucky **** rhett

 

Just called PHP and they said they can just convert my Edge to a gryphon and load the L tune onto it...for pretty dang cheap actually!

 

Both of them scenarios are a good way to rip the tranny out of it also!
Your just NOT supposed to do that anyway,period.

I wont even do it with a built block and built 4r100 tranny. That stuff is just way to expensive!
