I woukd like to introduce myself, Im Justin from east Texas.
I bought a 2011 5.0 brand new last july, I added a Jlt, offroad h, axlebacks, and cammed tune from evolution performance. Then my #8 popped.

So I rebuilt it and added a few things.
i now run same mods on the sct canned tune and have ran a 7.86 witj a 1.89 60ft in the 1/8

If you don't mind me asking what kind of rods/pistons and things did you go with for the rebuild. And what was your total cost

Nastystang06

I used eagle H beam rods with arp 2000 bolts

I had the pistons made by a company owned by the same guy who founded JE, they are stock replicas .010 over forged/coated and the ringland moved down

I spent around $3000 and that includes full arp hardware.

You could swap rods/pistons/bearings for $1500

DSargent09

Is that including labor or did you do the install

Nastystang06

That included the machine work done to the block, and the balancing, ect.
I built the motor and installed it.

did the ford warranty or evolution performance cover any of the cost or anything?

also, how many miles were on it when it broke?

I'm wondering that too. I'd be pissed with at least one of them! lol

Glad to see you got it all back together!

I cant blame evolution because i cant prove it was the tune.
I can't blame ford because I cant prove it wasn't.

Sometimes you just gotta grit your teeth and move on.
I spent my money going forged instead if a lawyer which would have resulted in a stock block again.
