Awesome, learn new tools everyday...
Tools for this engine
Cam hold downs
Ribe m11 for the cam bolts
Powered caulk gun
Torque wrench -inches and feet
Deep 12 point 14mm for the ARP hardware
Longer than stock crank pulley bolt to suck it down
8mm,10mm,13mm,18mm

Kind of a simple engine once the machine work is completed

Extras include a 2nd core engine (newer) to steal the big boy timing hardware from.
Two become one…

Missing a few things for the turbo lines. But mostly ready to find a new home

Ran into a snag, the trans for the flex.... is a 2 year wonder... so the water cooled ptu is not sliding in. Looks like I have a rebuilt trans to sell, and a different trans to install....

Sorry to hear that I wish my IC project went smoothly - new rad and new fans should of been easy IC stack with new radiator and fans that went easy. The fans were not for my Sho they were missing the self opening vents. I know you are dealing with a different beast, it amazes me nowadays when you put in a VIN how parts are still not accurately sourced. The new fan I refuse to pay to send back would cost me $100 bucks. To try and sell over the net is worthless as well due to costs of shipping.

Adding windshield urethane to all of the bushings also found a new style dog bone added urethane to that as well. I have the Anthony mount style on my flex, trying this out before swapping over.

Updating all of this suspension.

Ended up grabbing a younger transmission, PTU, and rear carrier

Updating the radio Apim to an “All things sync” unit to add carpart to the factory setup. Don’t plan on updating the audio - unless the speakers are toast.
