[QUOTE="JimIII@jdm, post: 15725484, member: 10902"] I just wanted to jump in and say thanks to some of the guys who mentioned JDM Engineering. We do build a lot of 5.8's and some of the guys who've posted in here and on this forum are great examples of what we can do! I looked at the estimate really quick and it's right on par, a few things we do different...but every artist paint's a different picture. It's best to call and get estimates and speak to the shops your looking at to get more knowledge about this sort of upgrade. It isn't cheap, but it is alot cheaper than having to build an entirely new engine if you grenade your's. The block and heads bare castings alone cost north of $10,000 from Ford. To make 1000 HP (800-850 RWHP) vs. 1000 RWHP is a big jump. It requires additional upgrades to the timing components, valve train, and more. Not to mention the fuel system and other components out side of the engine it will require. If that is your goal and to do it safely you can easily approach 30K parts and labor. If you have any questions or need an estimate from us just give me a shout at the office 732-780-0770 or email [email]Tech@teamjdm.com[/email] We would be more than happy to discuss specifics and options. Thanks, JimIII@JDM [/QUOTE]
