The forum sponser, atomic fab and performance. This is pretty much a prototype kit but I believe he'll have a setup available for the masses soon. Definitely send him a message and he'll get you set up!

The wait for parts is killing me!!!


Ordered a valve spring compressor the other day, also my 6.0 has oil lines for a cooler, isnt this what I need since my truck doesn't have one? I know in theory I could swap it over but I want to have the long block as complete as possible ready to drop in

also are these the correct style clamps I need for the headers? 3 inch lap style or do i get normal?

Would have loved to get this done for cruisin ocmd but no way in hell that's gonna happen fml. Think imma start the swap end of this month. With my luck it will take a very long time to get it running cause im a retard but thats what I have ya'll for right???

Yes, that block plate is correct.

Yes those clamps are correct too. My local Napa stocks all those band clamps, cheaper than ordering them.
