Base GT350 $47,870 GT350R $61,370

The "base" GT350R doesn't have a backup camera? I thought those were required on every car starting with the 2016 model year?

I was going to suggest unplugging the injectors from the harness and letting the motor turn over on the starter with the spake plugs removed to make sure you don't have any puddles of fuel in the bottom of the cylinders. Hate to see a hydro lock situation right as you are getting it back together

I'm sure you are glad you saved a few stamps worth of shipping cost because of the aluminum!

I'm telling you the damn thing is at least as fast as a stock 11-14 3.5EB. It felt very much like it would give my tuned 13 EB a run for its money.

I wish that could someday become a factory color. I know it is a wrap, but I love the non gloss finish

Sounds like you might have popped the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor. This can happen with you run bigger returnless pumps and the tuning hasn't been adjusted for them. The car can handle it through adaptive learning, but you are still prone to rapid and large swings in fuel pressure as the ECU is...

I too ran an F1A and E85. I had a stroker 9.3:1 motor with stock heads, cams, and intake. Made over 600ftlb starting at about 3000rpm through to nearly redline. If you are running E85, I wouldn't worry about a waste gate setup, The F1A was making good boost and it just pulled like a freight...

I ran 4.30's with a 28" tire, but I also ran a 6060 trans so I needed more gear to get out of the hole. I also made north of 700rwhp, so my advise probably isn't applicable at all. Forget I was here.

This is what factory casting numbers will look like I'm looking but can't find what the individual part numbers for the FRPP CNC heads are.

Those don't look like ford casting numbers. It looks like they have been etched or stamped onto the head by someone.

I big part about FPC motors being "low on torque" is due to their low relative displacement. a 5.2 FPC V8 is pretty much unheard of in modern times and the motor should make good torque for the RPM band the engine is designed to operate in.

I wouldn't say solve (because the 2nd order vibrations will ALWAYS be present), they just beefed the hell out of the components they needed to so it would stand up and then put in the right amount of dampening between the motor and the chassis so that owners wouldn't complain.

A friend just aquired a few low mileage 11-12 GT500 longblocks. He is selling at least one now and I think he's going to upgrade the rotating assemblies with better rods and maybe pistons sell those as upgrades for GT500 owners. I'm not sure if he is going to tear down the longblocks and sell...

Did you talk to Darton about the length of the sleeves? I believe that they can be made to keep the piston skirts from protruding out of the bore, but I think that might limit your stroke options. Just something else to consider.
