[QUOTE="marsh2o, post: 16958128, member: 114028"] Staying with my 5.4 is certainly something I've thought about. It's not burning oil and has decent compression. But there is currently a 5.8 on Ebay with just over 8K miles that the salvage yard (with an excellent reputation) has confirmed is in good running condition with good compression and is offering it at a reasonable price -- and that was a very tempting option. My interest in the 5.8 is not just the power increase, but the fact that the aluminum block takes 100 lbs of the front end of the car -- something that's very appealing for a car that will be regularly autocrossed and entered in HPD events. However, I've decided that a better option is to get a 5.8 shortblock from JDM and have the heads done at MHS -- more expensive than the Ebay offering, but with upgraded components and greater reliability. I'll keep the 5.4 until I've finished all the other upgrades and then probably sell it to offset some of the cost of the 5.8. Sorry to hear about the fate of your own car. From the description in your signature, you had a nice ride. [/QUOTE]
