    to rebuild or not?...

    Ill look into a new block and build that into a better engine then just swap over the "bolt-ons". Fyi...that riff raff kit is the same international/ford kit everyone else sells. Not that its bad, just not special. I figure if I get the new block/engine itll be easier to install/mock-up the...

    to rebuild or not?...

    Heres the thing. This truck has lived life as ricky bobbys work truck so even with 260k shes nearing rebuild time. She throws out white smoke initially then black soot when I get on the throttle. The black im not worried about because thats due to my smallish turbo but the white smoke and truck...

    to rebuild or not?...

    Good sounds like all im missing in an updated TQ. If i use my current old block, will I have a better chance of boring out the engine and going with oversized pistons or can I have sleeves installed and go with standard pistons. Would it be a good idea to buy new rods as well?

    What can i do to my already built transmission parts wise to refresh it?

    to rebuild or not?...

    Let me approach this a different way. In the experience on this forum what is a good build sheet for a motor as far as engine internals, turbos, exterior accesories (i.e. fluiddampner) to use when building a motor to support 250cc sticks?

    to rebuild or not?...

    Correct, those sticks werent part of my 800hp "build", but after i added everything from the Swamps website into my engine bay i wouldnt have a problem with twins and 400cc's. Currently ill have to have my block sleeved for stock pistons or bored out to go with oversized pistons, probably...

    to rebuild or not?...

    What the truck will be used for is currently up in the air, when i bought is over 10yrs ago it was my "everything" rig, horse/hay hauler, log skidder, DD, drag racer and sled puller. If I dropped the money into it Id need to figure out how to make that money back out of it, any ideas? Second...

    to rebuild or not?...

    Need to decide if its worth it to tear apart my 7.3l to rebuild it or buy a new rig. Right now the motor build would have every part replaced or refreshed minus the crank, unless it needed to be. The current price for this build is 18k. This is just the price of parts not including labor. Got...

    Im looking to get away with blocks. That PMF rsk is nice may turn to that and ditch my SKY. Any tips on finding new or gently used B/V/X code superduty leafs?

    suspension experts

    Had a talk with a few mech engineers and my financial manager (the wife), i gotta balance cost and benefit of this suspension. Will the V and B code spring be easy to find? Or will I be looking at getting a set of Deavers or Icons? I know the cost of coil-overs will cost more than a set of new...

    Alright im getting older and less attracted with having a lifted truck and a rough ride. Currently i have 6" of lift overall with 35" tires. This was done with stock f350 leafs on all corners and a 3" sky fsk kit upfront and a 4.5" sky rsk in rear. Id like to drop down to stock height but still...

    Experience with 6.4l needed

    The 6.7s dont have as many features but ill start driving them this weekend to see which i like better. Its definitly easier for me in my area to find a lower mileage 6.4l than an inexpensive 6.7l I need hauling capability of a 350/450 however I have modified a 250 (in my sig) to haul some...

    Experience with 6.4l needed

    When deleting the EGR "system" which vendor(s) sells the full delete kits? When I get one I dont want to waste too much time before its been deleted. I'll probably regret asking this question since it'll make me think more but... Is a 2011-2013 F250 6.7L XLT with >40K miles a better buy than a...

    Experience with 6.4l needed

    So... a 2008 f450 with 80k miles considered high? No more than 15k miles per year a good bet?
