People don't realize the potential of the 4.8 when being force fed.

Shitty deal with your builder. I was enjoying the thread till then. I'm having the same thoughts about using a junkyard motor or building a core. Local machinists scare the **** out of me, as they're all "old timers" who won't listen to a kid.

But, I have a buddy pushing 15 lbs. through his stock 4.8L and it'll spin his 40" mud tires on pavement. Those damn things are a hidden gem once you force some air into them.
