So i decoded the VIN and it doesnt have a 5.0 like i previously thought. it has a 5.8. Not sure how I feel about that.

Sometimes, when it comes to mileage and already having a replacement engine. Then its 50/50

New plan, Shawn has some .030 pistons for me with the large valve reliefs. So since the heads are near new no work there.
$120 for machining and cam bearings
He was kind enough to give me free pistons
$99 gasket set.
$50 intake porting
$50 Mustang cam
400hp for under $500

Save forged shortblock for mustang

Ron just left, huge thanks to him for going with me. Drive didnt seem nearly as bad with someone to listen to me jabber the whole way. Starting on repairs now.
