building a 5.4l forged motor dead 4.6 in 4month

well some how i was losing oil on a brand new 4.6 motor i just installed in march and i got rod bearing tapping going on so i am done with playing around with stock stuff i look at it as being out of 4500 bucks for the motor and install fees

______________________
5000.00 bucks
ie did not include 7qt oil pan,gaskets,arp bolts and such everything else will be carried over from my present 4.6 motor

so far as with the vortech going with a 2.xx size pulley and i am almost completely done with my diy fmic just have to finish the pipping and get a mini-bypass

i will have to sell my longtube headers since they will not fit the 5.4l block

o well
