07 5.9 CR Motor with a toasted Cylinder, rebuilt from the ground up with:
-12v Rods
-New Pistons .020 over

Sneak peak on the twins
Here is a sneak peak on the twins... For now I'm going to run a stock over 474 setup, and down the road swap out the stocker for a PS 62/70. This is with a mockup motor sitting under my hood, my motor is back from the machine shop and fully assembled other than waiting on my cam:swear

It all depends on what you want to do with it, biggest problem with building up a Powerstroke is after you eventually get the big power you want... Fuel mileage, reliability, and usability all starts to fade away... whereas with a Cummins, in your case a 12v, you can have the big power, reliability, and still have it usable for whatever along with getting awesome mileage. Just my 2 cents, been there done that, with both a 7.3 and a 6.0!:rantoff

Over the weekend...
Got my cam in, motor set, painless harness strung out and loomed up (looks good too), got my valve lash all set, got my heater hoses plumbed, put the factory Ford Upfitter switches installed (just had the little cubby hole before) and some more odds and ends! Was going to get my clutch and tranny in but went to mount up my flywheels and the bolts were too long and bottomed out:gaah So the guys at Southbend... being the great guys that they are... are sending me the correct length bolts!:goodvsevil
Can't wait to have my wheels back!!!!!eelout
