A few years ago I did a garage rebuild with the help of a friend and I learned a ton about the 5.4 modular engine. The truck ended up running mid 7's in the 1/8 mile and dynoed about 600rwhp.
Even though the build appeared successful, there were lots of little things that could have been done differently.
So this time... I have hired professionals and it will be done properly.
I am going to have the block refreshed, bored 20 over and use JE pistons.
While we are at it:
Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Track Heat 185 ported heads
Larger custom grind Comp Cams
80lb Injectors
Tuned for E85
Looking for 700rwhp and low 11's in the 1/4 mile.
Wish me luck!
