They trade them in to a certain ford dealership. Then they sell them to this resale company. This place calls up here when they get ones that have more issues then they want to deal with. There have been about 10 or so shipped up here. The last one was a 6.0 that they thought needed all new injectors. Ended up not having one cable plugged all they way in on the ficm.

Next time we get a call and dont want to buy it, i can send you a message Danny.

Heck, yeah! Let me know!

Well for an update. We are now at a point that I hoped we would be a few weeks ago. The shop got busy and this is a back burner project so it gets last piority. So today we finally had some time to work on it again. We assembled the motor and got it all together in stock form just to see if the engine would run. Since this is a mix and match of 3 engine parts put together to get one that run. This engine had 3 broken pistons so we pulled the broken ones out and put ones in it from a different motor. Heads are from a third motor so we slapped them on quick. We even reused the old headgaskets. The injectors are some that i bought off ebay and I needed to see if they even worked. Also I wanted to test if the cp3 setup would properly regulate with stock injectors and it does. Drove it today. Got a tuner and some tunes coming for it. Oh, and it is stuck in limp as some idiot forgot to weld the ebp sensor into the uppipes.

Now that we know this engine will run it is time to move to the next steps. Next week, if we get any free time, we will pull the cab and put in the bigger injectors and get that modded pump in it so we can get the testing done on it for those guys. Then on to adding the third turbo and other airflow changes.

Truck has been up and running for a while. But we are testing another injection pump right now to see how it will last in the real world. We decided not to run the 6 speed manual, much more cost effective to wait and see how the 4r100 works out for everyone. Because if we blow up a suncoast a few too many times there goes our 10k budget.

Its coming along, much more slowly than anticipated, but isn't that how it always goes. Quite a few blown 6.0's and worn out 7.3's needing motors coming in to keep us busy.
