It just looks wrong how the 5.4L alum. rod dwarfs the almost Briggs & Stratton size piston.

Crank in. We did not need the main studs with the windage tray provision because we incorporated the windage tray in to the oil pan.

Short engine together.

Like a finger in a...... well it's a tight fit but everything looks good.

The Intake. Even though this intake comes factory on this engine and has a Ford part number the NMRA said no to 16 injectors so we have converted to 8

This intake turned out exactly how we hoped (looks & function). If this was a N/A combo she would have looked a lot different, ahh forced induction.

Cylinder heads: (Guides in, valve job, assembly, etc.)

Cylinder heads going on. Starting to look like an engine.

Solid lifter set up. The small shims are used under the ball to set lash. It is a time consuming job on a 4 valve engine.
