Good job..

I agree with Leadsled on this one. Any pushrod engine seems easier to work on than this 4.6. Everything seems so complicated with it and that just makes me not want to tear into the engine at all.

I'm planning to replace the pistons and rods in the car but it is so damn expensive I'm not sure which way to go. Is a kit better than a built SHM 5.0 block? I don't know but either way isn't cheap. Very few people can work on it or can be considered experts. It looks like if I want security that it will be done right, I'll have to go to Canada to get it done..
