Oh no worries, I have all those planned out for future mods when I get the money for them, not to mention I eventually want to have all my internals forged...undecided about forced induction or just keep it N/A...either way it's going to be B.A. when all is said and done.

might as well just swap a HO motor if you are going to do that, cheaper in the end. i am your ho motor swap expert. not really but thats what i did to mine.

If I do go that route I'll definitely hit you up and learn a thing or two about doing the swap.

well i mean if you want to make a standard 4.7 forged it just doesnt make sense to tear it apart when you can buy an HO that already has all the goodies. imo i wouldnt mess with changing crank, pistons ect, just get an HO and save your self the trouble.

good luck finding a forged crank too, only way to get thoes is from an ho but then you would have to pull that out bla bla bla install in the standard, more work.

Yeah, I thought about it and if I wanted that, it would be a definite engine swap. No use in making things harder and more expensive.

Update:

The Cams are installed and the valve covers are back on. I just got dehydrated and tired so I stopped for the night and will finish tomorrow morning. Though I must show you all something very interesting, my spark plugs.
