Ahhh what studs to do? More and more trucks with standard arps are blowing gaskets. O-rings seems like the cure but if this thing blows gaskets the motors getting junked and a low mileage short block will be built up.

orings & 625s

$$$$ I think I'm gonna do Orings and 425s. Collester has been running that for awhile with a s366 and 475 with a little nitrous for like 2 years. This engine has 225k miles on it so Lord knows when a lifter will get chewed up, dont feel like spending that kinda money on it.

I'd be lucky to get 13k for this thing. Then I'd have to start over with a 6.4

We'll see in December. It has 12.6s in it. Then the 6.4 blows a gasket or cracks a piston and I owe 15k on a truck that needs 10k in repairs.

Id just stud it, it already has a trans and is built and you don't have to worry about the expensiveness of a 6.4

Yours hasn't let you down yet and that's great but it will lol

That's what I'm gonna do. I'd love a 6.4 but I don't make enough. If I do anything drastic it will be a tow rig/Dd and a billet 475 for the 6blow.

You gotta risk it for the biscuit!

Making 36k a year and trying to build an 11sec 6.0 is enough risk for me.

How do you like the twisted 5r.
I'm thinking of a 4r swap in mine.

It's amazing for a 5r but after I saw a 500hp 7.3 bark all 4 33x13.50s at the track I wish I did a 4r.

ford rules · Aug 22, 2014

I keep thinking the same, I just feel for my driving habits a 4r will be better.

Any idea on how much extra crap comes with the cost of the trans? I'd go with twisted regardless of what trans you decide on.

I'll let you know when i find that out.

The PCS alone that is needed isn't too cheap...

That's why I haven't sold to get a 6.whore…they're getting cheaper though, which is nice
