Then again.... if the heads are shot then would be looking for a whole engine.... a complete gen3? But would would i do with my cobra jet manifold and TB setup...

Then again not sure about things like fuel system with return line and all the other electronics related to the pcm etc etc etc ... really hoping that the heads are fineWell, still waiting for the autopsy.... If the heads are shot then its probably going to be a gen 3 (M-6006-M50C) long block.
Retain them.Then again.... if the heads are shot then would be looking for a whole engine.... a complete gen3? But would would i do with my cobra jet manifold and TB setup...
I'm going to say he is mistaken. It has 93mm bore/92.7 stroke.I asked Shaun about that and he said it has the same bore/stroke as a 5.2 GT350 but is not a GT350. (No flat plane crank)

A complete Gen3 engine will require the gen3 control pack which requires a return fuel system. Cobra jet manifold/TB will work but you'll need an adapter cable to TB as the gen3 uses different electronics and will most likely have to play with the fuel tubes around the manifold because of the direct injection lines. Apparently the gen3 control pack doesn't work with F150 engines so a cheap truck engine is out.Then again.... if the heads are shot then would be looking for a whole engine.... a complete gen3?

yup thats why I am praying for the heads to be ok, Porting took 7 months (they give more cfm then I can use, 330+ cfm)...... never mind the LM cams etc.A complete Gen3 engine will require the gen3 control pack which requires a return fuel system.

And yes, the ECM generation has to match the engine generation. (short block doesn't care though).
If you have performance cams, they will not transfer to the gen3 heads.
This makes it magical!! everything you would want. No flatplane to worry about etc.I asked Shaun about that and he said it has the same bore/stroke as a 5.2 GT350 but is not a GT350. (No flat plane crank)

No more forced induction for me...too much hassel, complexity and weight.That Turbo Charger you posted a picture of should fit right on that engine.
