    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Update: my shop found a Ford long block, allegedly the last one in the country at the moment. I had to pay to get it shipped from the west coast but it’s gonna be here today. Just waiting on the headers and oil pump gears to come in and then it’s time to swap motors!

    Rebuilding a 6.2 Engine

    This is amazing info! Let us know when you get the parts. I might be ordering forged rods and pistons soon, I’m on a waitlist right now for a long block, been 3 weeks with no updates so far.

    Damn sorry to hear! What happened? I guess we're the unlucky ones in this group. Yeah apparently there are no cores available to make the long blocks, that's what I was told.

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Yeah the shop that the truck is at now does a lot of ford engine rebuilds - mustangs, race motors etc... I was trying to save some money buying a ford long block but if they’re back ordered for a ridiculous amount of time then it’s not worth it to me. It will be 2 weeks with no update on lead...

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Just an update for you guys, I’m on the wait list for a long block from Ford. They’re back ordered and no idea when they’re going to have any available, allegedly. I’m going to wait it out for a couple weeks and if there’s no progress I might just have to build up the motor. Do any of you guys...

    How about American racing headers?

    What setup do you have? Thankfully my only neighbors are a horse farm so I’m not worried about cold start.

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Yeah that's the final straw to sway my decision, I'm going with the dealer definitely. I know there will be limitations with the warranty but if I can get a warranty in place when the motor is installed I'll deal with the hurdles if I ever have to make a claim. I gave them my VIN # so I really...

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    The plot thickens...I spoke to my Ford dealer and they said they can get a long block in 2-3 weeks plus 1 more week for install. They said the warranty is still valid with the supercharger, just doesn’t cover the supercharger. I also spoke to Livernois a couple days ago and they said I could...

    Thanks guys, just waiting on the engine builder to get it all on paper so I can see everything and then I’ll make a decision!

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Thanks, any other downsides to a forged bottom end? I want to be able to get in and drive this truck anywhere. Also my next worry after this is done is the transmission, what can they handle? I can’t imagine it’s gonna last forever at 700 (crank) hp. I know the labor would be the same for the...

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Yeah it’s gonna hurt the bank account but it is what it is. I bought a 10 year old truck with almost 200 extra hp than stock so maybe I shouldn’t be that surprised, I guess I just like to punish myself haha.

    Those look like badass traction bars. Do you have deaver springs and those installed on your truck?

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Thanks I appreciate all your guys input. It's a hard decision to make, its making my head spin! A buddy of mine is telling me to put a Jasper motor in....

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Sorry thats what I meant, the green cats, not the standard ones. Are there traction bars for these trucks that don't require drilling into the frame? That's something I want to avoid.

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Ford dealer said 2-3 weeks to do the job but I’m not sure if I buy that, didn’t sound like they’ve done many of these swaps and they weren’t really familiar with the Roush setup. I called livernois directly and the guy I spoke to said a month and a half if I ship my motor to them. My local...

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Yeah that’s what I was thinking, more profit for him. Local Ford dealer says $8500 for long block installed. That doesn’t include any extra labor for supercharger kit, headers or oil pump work. Headers are what, $2k?

    Thanks, I’m getting another quote from a Ford dealer right now. That price includes billet oil pump gears installed and long tube headers

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    No wheel hop or anything, I’ve been really conscious of that cuz I knew that was an issue. I’m planning on deaver springs plus shocks rebuilt with the flutter stack mod or whatever it is to eliminate wheel hop. I’m definitely gonna use the Kooks high flow cats. Pretty unanimous so far from...

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    What sucks is I had a JDM 700 hp kit with a new tune ordered a few weeks before this happened but the pulley was back ordered. It showed up a week after I spun the rod. I want the truck to be reliable, that’s my biggest concern right now, I don’t want to have to deal with this again. So my only...

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Yeah I couldn’t find a single other case of this happening when I searched. I also asked JDM about it and they said they’ve only replaced 2 long blocks in 10+ years. But the engine builder says it’s not the first one he’s seen and says they’re a little soft on the bottom end.

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Hey guys, just wanted to share my story on here and see if you guys had any advice for how to move forward. I just bought this truck in December 2020 from the original owner - 43k miles with a Roush stage 2 supercharger installed in 2015 around 20k miles. Only other mod on the truck is a borla...
