My small build

strokin6L · Apr 7, 2015

Went to ford this morning to get the trans filters. Got a price on new lifters...holy ***....$36 each. With there being 16 x $36each = $576. RCD sells new OEM lifters for $250. Probably get them right from RCD and maybe even a stage 1 cam.

8c3z-6c329-b is a guide with 4 lifters. My cost is around $52 each so $200-250 for all new guides and lifters.

Damn....that's a huge difference from buying them separately. Why would ford do that?

Been a while since I posted anything. Got the UCF o-ringed heads with RCD 120# valve springs last week!

Dropped down from the stage 3 to a KC stage 2.

Whats your initial thoughts on the heads?

strokin6L · Jul 20, 2015

I think they look great!

Merc82 · Jul 21, 2015

Looks good. Why did you go down to a stage 2?

strokin6L · Jul 21, 2015

Stepping down cause It'll be better suited for the truck and my driving. I use about up to maybe 40% throttle with 90% of my driving. See no need for the stage 3 anymore. I'll lose top end power....but that's fine cause I don't need it.

Coming along good man! What did you ever end up doing about pushrods. I know I looked into that a bunch when I was tearing mine down, but I don't think the updated 6.4 pushrods were out at the time. I'd go with the 6.4 length if you can get them from RCD. I believe I read the Ford 6.4 pushrods were a better length, but the material used on the end of the pushrod wasn't as durable? I can't recall specifics now.

I talked to Jared about it and he said they only use the 6L chromoly pushrods in all the 6L builds they do. I've talked to others running them to and no one has had any issues. So if you want a chromoly pushrod in the updated length....you'd hafta get the 6.4 ones. Even tho I was told I'd be fine with the original length ones.... I ended up getting a set of 6.4 chromoly pushrods instead. Trend performance makes them for RCD and many other companies. Just a piece of mind I guess.

Good deal. That's the same route I would have went.

strokin6L · Aug 14, 2015

Got the KC stage 2 installed yesterday! Now I just need to get this cab pulled to get the new o-ringed heads and other parts on the truck.

Vision Diesel

I just read through the whole small build. Trucks sounds like it will be nice once it's all back together. What cai do you have on there I seen the afe tube an what looks like the filter from no limit.

strokin6L · Sep 9, 2015

AFE stage 2 intake. The filter came with the intake

What fittings did you use in conjunction with that billet oil cooler outlet/coolant delta kit? I like the look of that setup, and think it would go along nicely with my new vision coolant bottle!
