So, Im new here, but this is a great forum.
I have a 1993 F-150 Flareside 2wd, 300 straight 6 with E4OD and 8.8 rear axle. My buddy gave me his stock turbo from his 7.3 stroker. The engine and trans both need alot of work, im going on 340,800 miles on both without rebuilds, and they are starting to show the signes of their age and abuse. I have been thinking of doing a complete performance rebuild of both and am new to having a 6 cyl truck, all my others have been 5.0's.
I want to bore it out a little bit, port and polish the head and upgrade all the internals, if i do so, can i use the same pistons and rods from a 5.0, i believe the stroke is the same, so the rods should be the right length... also, my truck is efi and i want to keep it that way, i have looked high and low, but havent found any upgraded intake manifolds, do they exhist : The trans will be built to hold up to 850 HP, so ill be good there, but i want to get good power and great torque for the engine, if anyone has any sugestions, please let me know :!:
Thanks,
Sean
