[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 14254822, member: 35549"] The best way to check a crank is with a micrometer. But as long as there aren't any deep gouges or scratches you should be ok. You'll want to have the block bored .020" over anyway. Make sure it hasn't been bored previously. I built the engine in my car. It's not black magic. It's just an engine. There are some different torque sequences, but it's not hard to figure out. Just take your time and double check clearances. And keep everything clean. Check around for rods. You might be able to find some used Manley's for sale. I've heard Modmax has some good deals. I'm running a Melling oil pump. I prefer to run billet gears. Even if it's billet gears in a stock housing. You can hit 700rwhp with stock heads and cams. Getting the heads ported just makes it easier to get there. All I can recommend is what I'm personally running. I have 03 heads with Comp springs. I'm running Ford GT cams, but you should be fine with your stock cams. In order to run the 2.8 you're going to have to look into an eaton swap. And there's a lot more parts involved then just eaton and intake. I didn't use any special tools when I assembled my engine. And that was 20k miles ago. It's still doing good. [/QUOTE]
