Whats the average costs of this?

New rods are 400 for forged so whats the install price on that injectors head studs and gaskets?

Have any of you went that far yet?

And I will be doign the intank / prepump mods and regulated fuel supply right after christmas.

Are you talking about dropping the truck of at a shop and getting forged rods, injectors, head studs and gaskets, and a fuel system installed?

 

[Scar13]

Yes everythign but the fuel system.

Ouch, parts alone your looking at between $2K and $3K. Now add labor. It will be very spendy.

 

[Scar13]

Yeah parts are goign to be a little higher then 3 k

I was just curious ont he labor amounts.

You will just have to ask the shop where you are taking it what his labor will be. You may as well have him do the fuel so everything will have a warranty on it.

I've never had that much work done in a shop but a WAG says you can double the price..... 3K in parts is gonna prolly be close to 3K in labor. Im guessing a minimum of 40 hours labor there at $60(?)/hr.

...Im guessing a minimum of 40 hours labor there at $60(?)/hr.

...especially since installing rods involves pulling the engine.

Why the hell did Ford switch to powdered rods anyway? There better have been a damn good reason. I'd much rather get an 00 with the forged and mod the hell out of it.

I'll tell you why, Because they are cheaper to make, i have a 99 with forged rods, and wouldn't trade it for Powdered Metal rods any day i'm pushin over 400HP no prob on stock and can go even higher, but yea it's cuz they're cheaper
to make
