    What would YOU do for an engine build in my situation?

    Yeah, it's definitely not cheap. The build is still on but going slow. I did finally get my crank specific oil pump for the MMR 4.75 crank though. So now I can actually send the block off for sleeves and assembly. That'll be a while though, unfortunately. Over Christmas I did do some work to...

    What are you asking for the heads?

    What would YOU do for an engine build in my situation?

    Also, for anyone following the build, I'm now planning a 6r80 swap. There's plenty of guys going FAST with them and I'm wanting this car to be daily drivable. My 08 v6 is auto and I'm loving it compared to the tr3650 lol. From doing limited research on the swap, all I need is a 2013 f150 6r80...

    What would YOU do for an engine build in my situation?

    For the heads, I'm still unsure. I'll definitely be sending them for some work, but gotta decide on what I want. Some say the upgraded valves being bigger cause shrouding issues, so I need to learn more about that. I also need to find out what springs are best for what I want. I've read about...

    So, about the crank setup being a stroker, it is more stroke than stock but not huge. It's literally a Forged Steel Coyote 8 Bolt Crank from a Boss 302. It has 3.650 stroke vs 3.543 stock and 3.750 in the Eagle 5.0 stroker kits. It was the obvious choice for me because I wanted more rpm. I've...

    What would YOU do for an engine build in my situation?

    I'm still SLOWLY acquiring parts needed. MMR said my crank will be in within the next 2 to 3 weeks, so pretty pumped on that. I ordered my 3.7 bore pistons last week, MMR quoted 10 to 12 week lead time on those aswell, unfortunately . But, now all I lack is a proper rod. Once I decide on a rod...

    Comp 127650

    Who here runs or has run the 127650s? I keep reading about broken rockers, springs, and chewed up lobes. I want a super aggressive chop at idle and these are supposedly the top dog, just wondering why people have so much trouble with them. If you've used these cams with success, what's the...

    Anyone here ever installed a 4.75 crank?

    Just ordered the MMR 4.75 Crank and after doing some reading, I've seen posts about a few issues people seem to be having with it. I was wondering if anyone here has installed the crank themselves or rebuilt an MMR assembled block and could give me some pointers. I've specifically read about...

    Luckily, the new crank comes with Clevite bearings. I'd only bought the King XPs because a No Prep guy said they were pretty good. Said he drove a few miles home after an issue with no oil at all and they didn't fully fail. So I figured they be good insurance if I did ever window or crack the...

    What would YOU do for an engine build in my situation?

    Well, I want to be able to daily it during the summer and be able to put the slicks on and run a decent time at the track every so often. I live a couple miles from a nice Quarter Mile dragstrip, so that's definitely gonna be something I want to do. As for budget, I have a few grand a month I...

    That thing is sweet!

    What would YOU do for an engine build in my situation?

    Well yeah, even a mild cam requires phasers to be locked or limited at a minimum. Anything with a bigger lift has to be fully locked out. I'm not worried about them anyways, they did help control the torque curve, but just another thing to go wrong. Phasers are notoriously problematic on 3v engines.

    What would YOU do for an engine build in my situation?

    So would I be better off just getting the heads ported while keeping the original size valves? I really don't want to bore this block more than .020 over. I did see some badazz wet sleeves for a 5.3 stroker setup the other day on YT. I think his bore was 3.700 if I'm remembering correctly...

    What would YOU do for an engine build in my situation?

    For anyone interested in the build, I have decided on a crank. Thanks to another member commenting on another post pointing out the max safe rpm of each stroke available (assuming 5,000ft per min is a safe piston speed). I'm gonna go with the MMR 4.75 crank. It's affordable and comes with a...

    What would YOU do for an engine build in my situation?

    I was comparing it to the 4.6 4v. When someone says "4v" , they're usually talking about a mod motor. Coyote is technically a mod motor, but not really. Anyways, this is how the 3v lines up against the NA 4v mod motors according to Wikipedia 05 - 09 Mustang GT = 300hp / 320lb-ft 93 - 98 Mark...
