      Nice seeing you again Peter. Hope you enjoy the stall. Maybe I missed it and I meant to ask today but what's your plan for cam and heads?

          • At last, progress!


            Removed the headers, transmission/TC, and flexplate


            Here you can get an idea of how nasty my headers are right now. They're ceramic-coated, but the coating is flaking off pretty badly.





            So VHT header paint, or get them recoated?


            (on a side note, it's amazing how much easier it is to work with longtubes with the motor out of the car )


            Here's the torque converter shield:





            judging from the pool of oil, I think my rear main seal is shot.


            Here's the only thing that went wrong tonight: caught one of the bolts with my wrench when I was disconnecting one of the wires on the back of the starter, snapped it right off





            guess I have to add a new starter to the shopping list. It's not like this one was only a year old or anything


            Anyway, I got the transmission off:




            [MENTION=1248]birdie2000[/MENTION], I think I'm about ready to pick up that engine and start swapping stuff over

                  • I'll probably be able to get a truck from work we can use. It's plastered in EcoBoost stickers, so it doesn't get taken out overnight very often

                            • Made some decent progress tonight. Got the intake manifold and valve covers switched over. Next up is the timing cover.

                              • Pretty much the only parts I still have to buy are plugs, wires, and (potentially) injectors. I really don't know much about any of these...I always just used the regular Champion plugs and whatever brand wires you get at any auto parts store. What plugs/wires would you guys suggest for my setup? Also, should I step up to 30# injectors, or will I be fine with stock?
