@dillard09 Do you know if that motor has the updated cam phasers?

From what I was told it did have the updated cam phasers. It didn't come with the part numbers for everything but the shop that did the install days that they it was a fresh long block that was delivered from Ford just a week before I had it installed.

@unashamed7 Another option is Mountune. For ~$13-$14K you can get a complete built motor…figure $4K or so to install, and you’ll have enough left over to get the Garrett/Full Race turbos and still be ahead.

Headgames is doing my heads, but I may still use Mountune for the short block on my build.

I thought about doing a Mountune long block like that but I was already pulling a RMB Stage 2 block with Headgames ported heads that I or Goosetuned could never figure out what was wrong and get it to run trouble free. Lots of datalogs and changes that just never would run right. And I mean lots! Plugs a jillion times, coils, port injectors, pull DI injectors and clean, change downpipes, change vvt solenoids, change HPFP, lots of money spent. It finally sh*t the bed so I went back with a fresh long block in hopes to be worry free. So far it pulls harder than the build block with heads and I'm not even done with the 93 tune and still have E85 to go.
I wish you the best with your build! I have been following along with everyone that is building.
