Message: [QUOTE="78f100, post: 1339429, member: 3542"] This is what I would do, except I think I would have to go ahead with the fuel and air mods to the current motor. Opt 1...Buy a short block from ford, find a cheap core engine, so you dont have a 3000$ core charge (remember ford has a no fault core policy) it has to be complete, not rebuildable. Not saying you should screw them on a core but they will take it in any complete form, even with rods hanging out. Build it as you want when you want, if the original engine fails you may be forced to speed up the build on the new one but with a lot less down time. Basically the machine work will already be done, cylinders will be back to stock bore, so now you can use IH pistons. Swap cam, leave stock rods in it unless your planning over 1000hp.When you swap the built one out if the original is still good you can always sell it then. Opt 2.... Buy a decent short block and build from there. Take it to a machine shop who know these engines, this was my major problem in my area. If it needs boring and it will piston choices start changing. This will take longer and more work, may come out cheaper it's a gamble. You may end up with a few unbuildable blocks before you get a good one. Most time people don't pull good running 6.4s for no reason [/QUOTE]
