2011 Aluminum 5.4 Production GT500 block = $2499




Yup...you said it hit the rev limiter, you pedaled it, and it went to shit. I said, "Oil pump is shit now." You said, "Oh shit, wonder what else it hurt?" I said, "Lots of stuff."

Pretty much sums it up as I recall the PMs and emails.

Yea maybe so..........

You think the premium is worth it?

Bill - he has not offered and I am not expecting.... Cavet emptor... I had the car inspected and all seemed good

Check the link in my edited post concerning the iron block shortblock full of forged goodies. $3500 is pretty damn good and I'm betting you could get it a little cheaper. That is the price on FRPP's site.

I'm not trying to hijack the thread but why would the seller help out? I just don't see how it is his problem, it was running fine when he sold it, stkjock bounced it off the limiter. This is pretty much a case of shit happens,IMO. I am not trying to start a pissing match, just curious as to your reasoning?

Ouch....thats a shame. So whats your plan with it now Dave? Rebuild with the 5.4L or go a different route?

SD

I'll check it out, but I want to build it back to at least what it was.

 

[red_baron06]

Build it bigger and better and its gonna be bad ass.

 

[stkjock]

it'll be rebuilt...and out to tear shit up... fuck its only money right!

Exactly, you can always make more of it.

Turning money into memories. Good ones.

Those are some ugly picks...sorry to hear about that man. Can't somebody figure out a way to tune a smoother rev limiter to prevent a catastrophic failure like that??

Damn it man but look on the bright side, a badass build thread is in the making... Surprise!!

Or as I say: "Money, you can't fuck it or eat it, so burn it!"

He only put about 200 miles on it..You are right., the seller has absolutley no obligation to do anything. If it was me, I would do something to help out..Dave is a good dude, and I feel bad for him, thats all..


Now, on to the build!!! Good luck Dave...

Somebody told me I can't take it with me. So I'm not going.

well the car is already built, as long as the heads are good I think I'll just need the short block.

Thanks Billy. But I only got like 75-100 miles on it before it let go....

Looking forward to seeing the end product bud .

Thanks man.

No, really. That whole "immortality" gig is grossly underrated.
