BEN, I was Cody's first raptor 6.2 customer. This post has nothing to do with the cam kit he's working on (although I wish I had it at this point but it wasn't in my budget at the time of the build) and more of a letter of character. Cody found me on here after I posted about my engine going...

So this is actually my engine that the wizard Cody is building. He is guiding me on supporting parts and we are learning as we go...... So what fuel pump options exist? It appears JDM is of the opinion that the Livernois pump is no better than stock one. Is there supporting evidence either...

I called him, was great to talk with. He is going to get me some quotes and some options for what i'm looking for. Thanks Canuck714! Who here knows about pulling the motor on these trucks? How difficult? Can it come out the front or does the body have to come off like on the super duties?

I would agree with that to a point....if the owner has no idea how to build an engine (like myself) I probably shouldn't try and learn on a high performance one. But I will say that most things in life are that way. I've been able to build tunes for my old 7.3 diesel better than any of the many...

Who is the other "leader"?

Worth it?...to me it would be because these trucks depreciate so much slower than others. There isn't an issue that I'm aware of. Is your truck supercharged? What happened to yours?

No, my stock motor that blew had stock oil pump gears.. .. but the new one will definitely have billet one's.

Topgunz, Trans is stock, and healthy. I have a bigger cooler on it which did help a lot with temps in the mountains. According to the Nick at JDM, he says those 6R80 Tranmissions are super tough and will handle that power with no issues for a very long time as long as i keep clean fluid in...

If the truck was stock, This would probably be the route, but I think for the durability i'm looking for, I want a custom built bottom end. According to JDM and Livernois, a built short block (forged pistons, rods, stock crank, and billet oil pump gears) rebuilt with all stock components will...

Also Found this company, So i assume many more are out there, and this is $500 cheaper than livernois... http://www.modularmotorsportsracing.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_71&products_id=615 Anyone have any feeback on engines from JDM? They are supposed to be getting me a...

If the truck was stock i would definitely go that route, but i'm talking about boosted, making 600 rwhp ... reliably!! I will not be driving it like an asshole, but i do want to use that power from time to time. The warranty from a dealer on a crate engine doesn't entice me that much. I feel...

Shoehorning a 3.5 in there is not an option. That would be a huge waste of time and $ for me. That motor won't make 600+ reliably and it would be a nightmare to tune, if possible. I'm not trying to reinvent the raptor here. I just want my fun truck back on the road. So is the consensus here so...

Downforce, We are pretty sure its a piston from the bore scope, leak down, and compression test we did. There is what appears to be a little piston (aluminum) on the cylinder wall and a lot of blowby. Either way, if a head has to come off to fix it, thats still not cheap, and i feel like i'm...

Gary, I'm thinking that if a bone stock motor made it 180K on boost, a properly built motor with forged internals should easily go much longer than that. Either way, that's all speculation, and i'm looking for some expert options on this subject. Maybe i need to specify HP and use. Under...

I lost the #5 cylinder in my 13 whipple boosted raptor. Not 100% sure of the cause (mostly like a bad coil causing preignition and probably age too), but its new engine time. Truck has 180K miles. Posting this to see what professional opinions I get and what options are out there for a new...
