[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16113680, member: 166576"] So with regard to the 13-14 parts, Its Trinity specific parts like the carbon fiber driveshaft, factory crankshaft, Recaro trim etc. are all either out of production or expensive now. You can find them with some searching but these Shelby specific items were only made for 2 production years (Recaro stuff for 3). Aftermarket performance rods/pistons/rings are more available now for the 5.8L than they were. There was a time that you had to buy a complete OEM piston assembly if you wanted piston rings. In general, the cost to build a 5.8 carries a bit more of a premium. 5.4L based stuff is more readily available as they can go into iron and aluminum blocks. However, many guys here that had 5.4 equipped cars have had built 5.8s installed in their cars and they love it. All depends on how much you want to spend. With regard to the block material, I look at it from an ease of build ability standpoint. With an iron block, you carry and extra 100 lbs over the aluminum version. The upside is that boring and honing are much much easier, as well as replacement blocks being cheaper. [/QUOTE]
