UPDATE

My bottom end is pretty much SHIT! i'm not pointing any fingers at anyone. BUT I didn't do the tune myself.... ANYWHO!! i won't be able to make it unless i go to the ford dealer and take a new 5.0 for a test drive.:::COUGHHELLRIDE::: lol

( 3 pistons "rounded" pistion rings shot block bore oblonged, oil pump shot, stroker crank is ok and able to be reused after a polish... needs main bearings heads seem fine )

So in short i need a bottm end, I'm open to some suggestions as far as which direction to go.....

I was told $6100 for a boss big bore 324 CID... OUCH! I have the funds (and my wife is backing me) which isn't the issue so much as it seems like alot of $$ over all, which doesnt include labor of puting it back in the car and retuning it. ( LOL AT RETUNING, Because I will have to come clean (your not touching my stang)

I just want to get it back together exactly the way it was. I want it done right ofcourse, IMHO i think the engine was originally built correctly, i think theres some issuse in the tune"R". I'm NOT bringing it to where i was having it tuned (EVER) again... but like i said NOT blaming anyone...


Back to the thread I can not make it this is all new news! (bad, misfortunate) I'm sorry brothers, but the faster i can figure this out the faster i can be driving again...

sorry to hear that man hope you get it fixed soon. Give mustang magic a call for the tune F2 Hatchs car has always been taken there by him and the previous owner of the car and always had a great tune that performed without a hitch. I love the fact that he can just flip a switch and change tunes on the run. Good luck getting the car sorted out.

So is this cruise still goin on???

Sorry to hear the bad news about your car. Was this a slowpoke tune?

$6100 for a boss big bore 324 CID sounds pretty stiff... sounds like it had Viper tax added in! :D I'd try contacting Juiced (Dave) and see if he can help you out on sourcing and R&R of a decent short block.
