Nope...all that really needs to be done is bearings, regap rings, new oil pump...etc. I was budgeting in a set of forged slugs. Then it's ready for more then 600whp all day.

cool....then there should be no issue pulling 1 head off and putting it on the other with no issue.

they're not as close as you think.

I just noticed you where talking about the ford 5.3.

They are pretty low in standards. Now take it part gap rings with Gen IV-V rods, install a set of decent heads, a cam to match, and they might do something.

You just can't face the fact the yote is a modular.

A motor would flow better out if the box with boost that has twice the valves and four cams. Who would ever have guessed? That can’t be why pretty much any car that came from the factory with a turbo in the last twenty years had 4v’s per cylinder. Strange. Those motors also very seldom get swapped to another platform because of that same complexity as a 5.0/5.4/5.8. Thank god the 5.0 can handle some boost. If not the dealership/bank would have a hard time letting you turn in a leased car with a blown engine.

At Ecklers we had a few stock shortblock 5.3s in C5s and C4s. All past 700 including a brand manager. He was too busy replacing transmissions though.

i know exactly what it is. I know it's far better than that old modular junk. I know parts don't swap easily between them. I know a modular pcm ain't gonna control a coyote. I know the harness doesn't work. You acted like they were as interchangeable as the ls stuff. And they're not.

but the modular don't flow better. If it did it could make enough power to compete na.....but it can't. Boost just masks it because they typically run them with more boost.

that's why the 5.8 runs at more boost with a smaller blower than the lt5....hell the lt4 runs at less boost with a smaller and the same power. The ls9 made nearly the same power with a lesser flowing blower on 5lb less boost. The lsa would no doubt make more power than the 5.8 at the same boost level and efficiency and has been known to hold more power.

Out the box they are better as they should be. Talking pre 2005 stuff vs 2011. However they are still not the best modular engine. I did not act like nothing you clinically retarded midget. I told you that the crank/rods were interchangeable with the 4.6 stuff.

At the end of the day I will put my truck motor against any ls1/6/2/3/9/7/a with a similar combo. The fact you say the lsa would make more power than the 5.8 just goes to show how delusional you are.

Maybe it shows how delusional you are.....by calling your blown 4v a truck motor. You know.....since they never put a blown 4v in a truck. Gotcha!

Well for one being a 4v has nothing to do with the short block derp. It has a Triton "truck motor" block and crank. That is like saying a 5.3 is no longer a truck motor once you add different heads and a turbo lmao but it's ok Doug you are not the only LS my truck motor will gap.

Cool....put it in sbe and see if it keeps up with those sbe 5.3 truck motors. But we know you won't. Cause they weak af.

btw....the 5.3 wasn't used in any performance application. It truly is a truck motor.

Probably go boom at 600 just like a 5.3. Triton is truly a truck motor

Going to disagree on the LT1 power handling. Pistons are the weak point. Its an awesome NA platform, but boosted they are done for at 650ish-700rwhp and still require meth because of stock fuel system limitations. I would compare their power handling capabilities to Gen1 Coyote(good for 650ish rwhp sbe). Fuel system solutions are coming out slowly though and fueling will get cheaper. I also anticipate LT5 dual injection tech to filter down the line. There are also simple dropin piston replacements available now that match the oem pistons gram for gram. So you can do the piston swap with the motor in the car and be able to to handle 1000+rwhp.

LT4 is another story. It will handle more power sbe than the Gen3 Coyote. It is a beast. Again.. limitation is stock fuel system. Aux port injection solutions are available tho but will cost 4-5k range now.

Meh.. again... simple dropin pistons thrown in while motor is in the car will take you over 1000. OEM rods are good for it
