8s are the new 9s; might I suggest a 540 or 632 with big hairdryers?? Yeah, I like spending other people's money.

I don't.



Simple combo, wicked results.

There is a very specific gen 6 7.4 I'm looking for, And yes I would.
 
Got a lot done today. 4 bolts hold in the motor right now. Still have to disconnect the power steering lines but shes about ready to pull.

Took some time to install the Sonnax lube/line pressure valve. Hopefully this fixes up my dragging lockup clutch.

Also discovered my trans cooler ORB o-rings were both torn so it's been seeping and got the fan and fins all soaked. Minor issue but annoying.

I'll pull the electrical, fuel lines and tank after work tomorrow night.

Going well so far.

You'll be hating the 4.30's with a turbo SBE LS build. Especially if you're looking for 9's - you'll need to be in OD at the stripe lol.

EDIT - forgot to mention - LOVE the car and good luck.
