Man that is a given Probably take us about four hours to swap motors and about four (everything is already apart) to swap cams and put it all back together. I'm thinking total evolution time will be 8-10 hours. I'm not even screwing with those drive side exhaust flange bolts. 3" grinding wheel all the way man

 

yahooooo!!!! maybe i can score some headers too. i called the salvage yard in town and no 4.7's. i was expecting that though.

 

do you think that there is any possible way the H.O cam or any of my mods caused all these issues?

called a few places in wichita and i talked to one lady and she said that all the 4.7 in the area are going to be well over a grand.

 

I don't think so. Several people have made those same mods and haven't had any problems. The original owner of your truck ran conventional motor oil in it and probably never really ran it hard. Then we put the petal to the metal, lol.

Unfortunately the weak point of the 4.7L is the headgasket, we've even got G3 members blowing head gaskets. We even had a G3 member blow both headgaskets and warped both heads at the same time.

 

got underneath and took some better pictures for the hell of it.

 

I'd that the side of the head?

 

in both photos head is to the right. block on the left.

 

wait, that gap is on the driver side, same place. ****. i guess its supposed to be like that. then where the hell is the oil coming from. hahahahahah probably still from the HG but i was thinking about that gap and i was like theres no way it could just be concentrated to that one spot. and i was right, just took me a week to figure it out. either way i lost retarded amounts of oil in no time.

 

Guess you might never know. It would suck if its something simple...

 

Those pics indicate a blown head gasket. Looks just like your passenger side before we changed it out. Who knows, your head might be fine. Well, if thats the gap you were talking about anyway, lol.
