[QUOTE="Fernando Limas, post: 16600258, member: 200900"] Welp! I'll add some sauce to this post. My 2014 went "boom" 2 weeks ago. Completely my fault for letting my ego get the best of me for 1 and for not taking care of my maintenance updates for 2.... 2014 w/45,000 miles on the odo Full Bolt on (TB, CAI, 2.5pulley, LTH, Xpipe, Cat Delete, Tune...) Dyno 700rwhp Was playing around on the highway Did a pull, 60mph in 3rd, and shifted at 7K Shifted into 4th and the engine lost it Smoke seen out my rear view mirror Engine shut off I rolled to the exit and into a parking lot with a trail of oil :(( Towed it to my performance shop and was told something (cant remember) shot out the side of the block. After discussing the re-build plan, I was told the following parts would provide a stronger motor that was built for "racing" and would hold up better than the stock block/internals that I had. I am interested to know what you think of the proposed list: - Ford OEM 5.8L Engine Block - Ford OEM Crankshaft - Diamond Pistons - Manley H Beam Rods - King Racing Rod and Main Bearings - ARP Main Studs, Head Studs, Side Bolts - Cometic Head Gaskets - Machine Shop Services: Balance Rotating Assembly Torque Plate Hone Cylinders Deck Cylinder Heads - Removal and Disassembly of Engine - Blueprint and Assembly of Short Block - Assembly and Installation of Engine - Ford OEM Oil Pickup Tube and Oil Cooler - Break In Oil [/QUOTE]
