You are correct in regards to the oil pump that for sure. Just got off the phone with TSS who is only 2 hrs from the house and David is scrabbling to fill back orders rt now. Hes shocked at the demand and its no surprise looking at how Ford has been ramping up production in the last few years.
I had plans of going this route later this year but I planned on having the built short block from Livernois in the garage before pulling the stock motor. My only reservation with Livernois set up was the stock crank. I'm cool with the 6.2 displacement bc I figure the whipple can make up for it but I'm not so hot on the idea of buying fine jewelry and pairing it up with the stock crank.
The past summer, I had asked Livernois the details of their Raptor program
and they had not done much with the 6.2 but had built 2 or so 6.6 engines. I
was looking for 6.2 parts and all they had were bolts. Bottom line is it is
hard to believe what you hear on the Net or in advertisements.
Livernois gets the cubic inches by a longer stroke crank, which I have no
idea who makes it for them. It is possible that it could just be a 6.2 crank
offset ground which is the common way to stroke a crank, but I would not run
that style in a blown application. Anyway, I know nothing specific on the
Livernois stroker crank.
