i don't know about being the master, but i have experimented alot with this little motor. It was definately a learning experience, but a costly one.... So far i am about even on money... A Heads/cam 4.8 costs about the same as a Cam only 6.0... the sad part is i will be faster in the 6.0 and get better MPG....

The motor is all cleaned up and ready togo. Except i need two bolts. One valve cover bolt and one of the long oil pan bolts. I accidently dropped one of the cam retainer bolts into the oil pan when i was swapping out the cam. So the pan had to come off. When i was putting the pan back on one of those long bastards snapped. Oh well i will just pick up another one sometime. Anyways here are so pics.
. Now i can wear my CircleD tshirt with pride.

It came out of a buddy's vho. As far as plans, i am putting in a 220/224 .581/.582 115+4 and a circled 278mm 2a TC. I have not really decided if i want togo further cause i want to start building a race car. If the race car idea does not happen then i will toss a tvs1900 and redo the exhaust for bigger headers.

I dropped it in pan a few times, lucky for me I was told I should drain oil 1st. Otherwise, I'da had to take the pan off after emptying it anyways searching for that lil bolt. I was forced to lower pan, I get all the bolts torqued on pan after reassembly, all that's left is those pricky lil long bolts. I had a little oil on them & as I torqued em, thought it was taking too much oomph. I TQ'd em at the m6 bolt spec not the m4 (almost double). So the right broke off 1/2-3/4 into block. And that's how it sits. And will.
Only way it'll get removed...is if a 6L goes in its' place or I can allow the downtime on my 5.3 next yr. (not likely).
