Hey everyone, I recently had a built 5.4 engine with a T76 turbo kit bolted on it stolen out of my garage the other night along with a lot of other parts.

If you see anything up for sale like a built 5.4 engine, one-off sheet metal 5.4 intake, or 5.4 T76 turbo setup would you please direct me to the item so I can try and find this crap. I'm sure whoever jacked this stuff will try and sell it on ebay.

Stuff was stolen from Sarasota, FL.

I'll try to find some pix and get them up soon.

Thanks in advance.

"Now we'll see who finishes first Ricky Bobby! Stealing your motor gets my husband Gregory and I even closer to retiring to Stockholm and developing a currency for dogs and cats to use. "

seriously though, this sucks hope you're able to catch whoever did this

Will do. Hope you get it back or it's covered under homeowners insurance. Since it was in the garage, check your policy.

lol... I joined just for this thread...

Well first off the motor should have a VIN# on it... You may want to (if you haven't yet) report that stolen. That way if the motor comes up (or even the block), they'll have history as to who sold it, or maybe even catch the guy trying to sell it...

so you may get lucky and find the person...

but truthfully, I seriously doubt it...

Who ever stole it knew it was there, they knew how to get it, so odds are they know you and you know them... you may want to do some detective work of your own...

And if the person that stole it is smart... He'll strip the motor, sell it part by part, and scrap the block...

If he does that, your ****ed...

**** luck man... hopefully ya'll catch the ****...

ever see that show on discovery "It Takes a Thief" ? lol

Ditto - Me and 03 will keep our eyes peeled up in the Tampa Bay area.
I really have to believe it was someone who new the motor was there...I can't imagine this was random.
