Well I can finally post a build thread after sitting around for over a year since I blew my motor last April. I had Kogan Motorsports build my 4.6 with a new Cobra crank, stock rods, Manley pistons, hellfire rings, all ARP hardware, canton oil pan, stage 3 port, custom comp cams, new chains and a billet gear oil pump.
Other upgrades include fuel system.
1. Fore triple hat with 3 GT pumps, 3 fpdms, 80lb injectors along with upgraded fuel lines, filter, y block and fittings.
2. Brake upgrade. I purchase a set of front Wilwood 6 piston, 14 inch rotor and steel braid kit from Summit racing. They had an outstanding sale last summer. Not sure what I am going to do for rears. I really like the rear 4 piston kit that MM sells but I wont have use of my E brake.
3. Clutch. I went with the RXT Mcleod twin set up with there TOB and billet steel flywheel. I already have the 26 spline upgrade.
4. Exhaust. Jet coated Kooks LT's 1 3/4, Dr. Gas 3 inch x pipe, 3 inch Magnaflow race mufflers, Black powder coated dynomax 3 inch tails and 4 inch polished Magnaflow tips. I might use Magnaflow 3 inch high flow cats.
5. Cobra Bobs shifter gaskets along with the anti venom mod. I currently have the Steeda tri ax shifter.
6. I bought the dual bearing Metco idler kit.
7. I purchased the TF IC and overflow tank in wrinkle finish. I didnt like the black chrome look.
8. I had the valve covers coated in wrinkle black.
9. I think I'm gonna go with the 160 amp alternator from ebay that everyone is raving about.
10. I have black saleens with NTO5's up front and NTO5R's out in the back.
I'm going for a pump gas tune first with the stock upper pulley and stock lower. I also have a 3.2 and 3.0 pulley if I ever get use to the power.
Here is a pic of my Sanford and son truck full of parts lol.

This is gonna be a sweet build! Will you be cleaning up the engine bay too? What are you looking to make after all is said and done?

Yes I had the mufflers polished as they looked like crap with just the stainless finish. Also as far as the pre muffler pipe I wont know until the fab begins. My guess is that I can keep it the way it is. The Dr.Gas X pipe comes in 7 pieces and can be cut and welded to fit any combo.

Looks good, I love Magnapacks! That's going to be LOUD and super aggressive!

Thanks man that is what I'm hoping for. I will calling lethal soon for a triple and dual Y blocks. You wouldnt happen to sell the upgrade fuel lines that dont stink up my garage would you along with fittings?

You know when it was first delivered to my house and I opened the box and saw that it was all in pieces I was like WTF did I just buy? But after really looking at it I realized that it really is a quality piece. Perfect bends no kinks and a true 3 inch design.
