nmcgrawj said:not to scare you but if i were you...i would TRY to do it all. I had 102k on my clock...no oil burning and ran very well. After about 2.5 months of the new h/c/i the shortblock went south and im still trying to figure out why. But the bad part is that in that process, the shortblock took the cam with it while REALLY messing up the cylinder heads. I will be paying more money to get back on the road then if i were to just do all new off rip.
This is NOT the norm by any means, just realize that a new, more powerful. h/c/i will speed up the "aging" process on your already seasoned motor. 5.0's are known to run forever...but recently, alot have fallen.
Maybe do the h/c/i now, and slowly start building up the new shortblock on the side so if something does happen, its not as big of a shock to your wallet.

killercanary's engine was damaged because of a missed shift at the track (2nd instead of 4th), not because of a bad h/c/inmcgrawj said:Where have you been? Whats his name, the guy with the black GT on here that has the Y2K hood and smoked head lights had his shortblock go out. And killercanary just had his go out, although im not sure what happened. Thats 3 just on our section alone in the last couple months...but like i said its not the norm.we just have bad luck...good reasons to UPGRADE
Right right rright. Well i remember that the guy with the Y2KR hood said the previous owner used to use nitrous in big doses so that was a reason it might have gone but that is two ill count it. Killer overrevved his motor by hitting 2nd instead of 4th so that doesnt count. I have known many people with high milage H/C/I 5.0L soo many that these are just random events of falure that could happen to any motor.nmcgrawj said:Where have you been?
