I bought my block from FRPP, it was about 11-1200 bucks, already machined and ready to go, I honestly had the crank balanced to my rotating assembly and stuffed them in the block, no machine work was needed at all, just double checked clearances, put about 100 miles on it and then onto the dyno, first pull was like 1050rwhp. Been going strong ever since

Am i correct in assuming that the M-6010-M54 block is discontinued from ford? I would be willing to pay that for a brand new block. EDIT: allot of sites say the have this block but it seems not many really have them. A few of the big companys that sell shortblocks seem to have them.... and the price reflects it. I founds a few in the $1800-1900 range before shipping yikes

Here ya go, this was when it actually let go, injector duty cycle was actually at 146%, voltage at 11.94, boost at 31 and LC-1 is AFR at 13.6! This was with 3-465’s and ID1300’s. The voltage issue just compounded the problem as I was already on the edge of the 1300’s to start with. As the voltage dropped the ECU tried to compensate by increasing injector duty cycle.

Do you plan to upgrade the alternator? To keep up with everything. Im assuming all 3 pumps ate alot of juice

Yes alternator was definitely upgraded, and 3 pumps will pull 45-60 amps total at WOT, not to mention everything else running in the car too.
