Got the motor in and running last night. This thing screams compared to my old 4.8L. Only trouble i ran into was when first starting it. It had a bad knock due to the lifter not being in its prime, and it would not idle or stay running. We kept it running and the knock went away and it runs just fine now. The swap was well worth it and it only took about 1 1/2 days. Although this thing screams, it needs to be tuned bad. Ill be taking it the FMS for dyno tune very soon i hope.

 

Great let us know how it turns out. Did you do any internal work to it.

 

awesome ross
