She’s finally getting tuned today. Brought it out of storage, to my house, so I could limp it over.
Wish us luck

Ugh , tell me about it. It’s still for sale but had to get the tune squared away. Guy called today and it’s getting the QH pulled and replaced with a Megasquirt. Go figure

They got the computer sorted out and working with the Innovate AFR. A couple other kinks to work out still but they had it on the rollers today at least.
I thought you sold this or at least I remember you trying to sell it.

It’s still for sale if you want it! I couldn’t sell it with a dicey computer and half finished tune.

On 7 cylinders

Did you forget to put the 8th cylinder in there?
Really though.. Do you know the root cause?

From what he was telling me, yes. Allegedly the rocker arm was just laying in the valley under the valve cover.
So as long as there is no other damage he can just fix that, adjust the valves then we should be okay.
You would think paying for a sealed FRPP crate motor you could avoid issues like a blown apart camshaft and then a fallen rocker arm. Ford had it for the blown camshaft so you would think that they would go over everything. Obviously not, to Ford.

Hmmm, emojis don’t really work here. Takes away just slightly from my last response hahaha

Finally got it back! I was disappointed with the numbers but there’s a lot left to work with. Made 400rwhp which I thought was low for a rated 535hp crate. However it is fun as hell to drive.
I think if I have the valves adjusted and dialed in, new intake or ported polished to match the heads, I would hope the numbers would match the rated numbers.
I also blew out the one rear tire slightly on my test drive. I must of picked up a nail. When I was doing multiple burnouts it must of threw it and leaked out before I could even pay for the work.
Also tried to take a video but it was obviously too hard for me:

Ugh you can have them. They need to go, along with the headlights and fog lights. My lighting situation needs a major update.
