I'm using a similar setup to what @DieHarder has. Rock Auto 4 piston calipers, centric blank rotors, and stoptech street performance pads. I saved a couple bucks by using the ford racing Boss 302 brake lines but probably should have just went with stainless. I use ATE Dot 4 brake fluid and...

Plastic tensioners with fel-pro seals is what I am running. Ditch the thin stock seals on the plastic ones and use these: https://www.felpro.com/technical/tecblogs/solving-ford-timing-chain-tensioner-gasket-issues.html

Scuff it and use adhesion promoter. I painted my stock composite intake Gunmetal grey and it has held up for over 5 years.

For the time it takes to swap the MAF and TB, why not drive it there with the current parts and swap them in the parking lot? Better than having it stall out in traffic or having whacked out driveability with the different throttle body.

I'd check to make sure the noise isn't coming from the phasers before tearing it apart again. I just went back and listened to the video and it sounds like the phaser tick that I had in a 2004 F150 5.4 work truck. It always went away after tunning for about that amount of time. Grab a piece...

Buying any truck for that matter sucks right now. I had to get a truck for a new job and did not have cash. Anything used cost just as much per month as a new F150 with used car finance rates right now. $1000 Cdn per month gets a 2022 302A XLT F150 or a 2018 version of the same truck with...

Can you feel where it is pulsing from? I had a similar noise, it ended up being between the connection of my exhaust manifold and the Y-pipe for my turbo. It only lasted 30 seconds or so as the Y-pipe heated up and closed the gap.

Used to be in the DIY section. It took a fairly minor adaptation to the front mounts to make them fit.

TR6060 is an easy swap, a 26 spline clutch disc, the cross member, the transmission, and shifter are the parts you really need. The driveshaft is a slight bit different but there are a few people who have just bolted up the stock shaft and had zero issues. As durable as the 3650 is, the...

Measure them. I used them with 3.572" bore diamond pistons 0.020" as thousands of others have. I have 2 sets still sitting on my wall and the bore measures around 3.63" on all 4 of them.

Stock head gasket bore is close to 3.63" so an 0.020" overbore is not an issue. The ford ones from the ford racing head changing kit is still the best deal.

Any big chunks would be caught by the oil pump pickup screen so other than some smaller stuff messing up the inside of the oil pump, there is not too much to worry about. Good opportunity to step up to the better melling high volume pump. The next thing to look for would be scoring of the...

Add me into the Mach 500 fan club. Pair it with the lightened steel flywheel and it will take abuse all day.

It will be fine. The Ford racing shaft is a re-boxed shaftmasters piece.

If you can post the csv file, I can open it in livelink and get a better idea than from the screenshot.too hard to tell what is doing what without being able to pick out points and play through it. You are not the first person to have issues with a Bama tune.

I had a Barton with my 3650 and I didn't miss gears at the track like I did with the stock shifter. It served me well and I liked the robust feel of it. I went with an MGW Gen 2 with the slightly longer handle and one of their weighted gripper shift knobs when I went to a TR6060 and the shift...

Your brain has it right. I have dealt with Western Motorsports a fair bit and they are good people but there were issues with the MAF not receiving a clean signal with such a short path between the filter, the MAF, and the TB. I was talked out of going with that intake when I got my car by a...

This really depends on your budget. That is a fair number of miles but if you were to replace lash adjusters, roller followers, and valve springs along with the after market cams and the rest of the timing set-you likely could get another 80,000 miles of it still running strong if you stay N/A...

Could be a tensioner or chain guide issue. I'd pull the cam covers and shine a light down to see if you can spot anything that might be broken.

Rods are the easy part, as long as you don't buy the ones designed for a stroker, you are golden. 5.933" long and all stock stroke modular pistons have a 0.822" pin diameter.

Perhaps the guy was saying that you can use a lot of non 3v pistons depending on how big the cams are and if the phasers are locked. Those MMR stage 1 cams probably do close early enough on the exhaust that you won't need the 3v specific reliefs but you'd want the phaser locked to make sure...

There is likely air still in the system if it disengages close to the floor. Keep pumping the pedal.

I'd only be guessing but Ford Racing aren't one of those manufacturers that puts out snake oil products so they probably have found a need for it. My guess that it would be for the built motor power adder and big power shelby cars. I had never seen a pilot bearing fail like mine did but my car...

After having to go to some extreme measures to remove a failed pilot bearing from a Kellogg crankshaft, I'd be inclined to spend the extra $15 for the high load bearing. I think the one that failed was a parts store jobber due to a availability at the time.
