just out of curiousity... why are you planning on doing all this work? do you want a serious tow vehicle or do u just wanna have something no one else has? the labor pay in barley flavored beverages alone would cost a fortune! hahaha, whatever u wanna do, ill give ya a hand.

you planning on running over 1,000hp? if not, leave the internals alone. maybe a cam since its real easy to do while the motor is out, but its not "needed" unless you are wanting like 700+hp


springs are needed if you plan on running a big turbo at 50+psi

head studs, cam, and valve springs would be a good thing to do while the engine is out. the cam will help with spool up even on a stock turbo.

I knew someone would ask. i need to repower my ford, not enough power plus i do want a ultimate tow vehicle. i almost have it paid off and dont want another truck payment. plus i just wanna see the look on someones face (either a cocky dodge guy or a ford guy who thinks he has something) when i beat them in a ferd . (im going to leave all the ford badging on). Plus "anybody whos somebody is doing it".
So leonard you have full coverage on your truck right?

Saturday someone was talking about a place to obtain a new grill for my truck (Ernie??). I can't remember who it was. There are all kinds on fleaBay but who knows... So where does one find a decent grille at decent price? Exact match to factory is not that important to me.

i know im pushing for them to let me leave. "im only one person, you can do without me, theres other people to fill in my place, ill probably just get in the in the way". the real bad thing is we will be in baltimore and ill have plenty of time to work on my truck, but everybody will be leaving.
