[QUOTE="SVTCobra60, post: 16115292, member: 104950"] Okay I understand, seemed to have made more sense in your situation to go with the fresh 5.8. Going from a 5.4 to a 5.8 adds that much power all else being equal? Didn't think it would e so much. I didn't understand the last part about the custom pistons and choosing bore size. If you bored out the cylinder to 3.7, wouldn't you need to fit it with the same size piston? Thanks for the info. Ah okay, so that's an additional benefit of the aluminum block. Sounds like the best way to go is an aluminum 5.4/5.8 with steel sleeves added in, assuming you want more reliability and ability to rebuild easily. [/QUOTE]
