Message: [QUOTE="SIX_OHH, post: 43394, member: 255"] Sorry, i havnt been home since i got my truck back, been drivin :D. So i basically tried to make the perfect six liter engine. I wanted to make it reliable and a platform of which i can "Go big" on in the future. I had always heard (mostly on forums) that some parts on the 03-04 engines were suppose to be better. So i wanted to make the best motor i could with an 04 parts engine and a new 07 motor as the new base engine. Turns out most of the things people want to add to 07 engines are the things that have nothing to do with the block. Example being cold side intercooler pipe. 04's have aluminum 05^ have plastic. So what the hell did i do. Coolant filter oil cooler studs 6.4 banjo bolts Crank Case Vent Deleted Egr tuned ficm New Oem Head Gaskets Along with a custom fuel system to hold PSI on stock injectors at wot that i havent finished LOL Parts. The only thing i had to buy was oil cooler HG's and studs. The rest i had on the 04. PITA factor. Final 210 torque on headstuds LOL Thats really the only thing i hated. Other than that honestly everything goes really smooth with the cab off. Labor I had help to do it this fast. I think you can see half of them in some of the pics. From about 6 or 7 till 12 to 1 am for 3 days straight. Day 1 pull cab get 04 motor ready to pull. Day 2 swap 04 and 07. Clean heads and block for HG's install them and studs oil cooler. banjos egr delete CCV. The engine stuff gets taken care of. Day 3 drop cab and put everything together. @ 11:30 of day 3 is where i can up the PITA factor. Started truck and it purred likea honda. I walked back to listen to the exhaust it sounded good i walk back to the front and it started to miss. IDS was hooked up and #5 wasnt hitting under load. Went for a drive nothing changed so the next night day 4 we swapped it for a new one. Started at 7pm on day 4 and by the time the truck was out the shop and the shop was cleaned it was 11:45. I spent a total of 6K on parts labor and engine. Including new oil, coolant, charge ac Total time was 4 days. Total PITA factor was like 3 outta 10 Any questions comments or bashing just ask. [/QUOTE]
