Those guys have a lot of followers. Plus, James drives gen 11.
He's up to 1.4 million. James' gen 11 needs some love from videos I've seen. They've got a "Cleetus and Cars" event coming up next month by me that I intend to go to. Went to one back in February which was a blast.

Wasn't his truck the third fastest daily driver at the shop? Bone stock.

I think so. I was meaning from a bald tires standpoint and damage to the body. Lol. Those 5.4's don't get the credit they deserve. Mine was pretty quick with dual exhaust and custom tunes. This V10 should be a good bit quicker though!

Ive been happy with my 5.4 so far. A little boost wouldnt be too bad. Ready to see this V10 burn some rubber
I didn't get as much done this weekend because I got disgusted in this thing again. When wrapping up the coolant system I realized I need to pull the intake AGAIN and just walked away from it. I need to install a coolant temp sensor for the electric fans and I could have sworn that was going to be by the thermostat.... but it isn't..... it's under the intake.
But all of the brakes are plumbed, reservoir is in and plumbed and the air box looks like it should definitely be pulling in some cold air from how I cut it. Driveline will also be going to the driveline shop tomorrow.
Whatever you do, I repeat WHATEVER YOU DO..... Don't ever do this swap. It sounds amazing but it isnt worth it.
I also found a ground that needs connected to the back of the cylinder head. That's what is in the 4th picture.
Well, at least you've got multiple things to fix after pulling the intake manifold back off. That usually helps me be less irritated about undoing work.
Oh here we go again! Water temp sensor Where i was thinking of tapping for the new sensor. The solution.
Well here we are again. After pulling the intake I noticed how far into the head the water temp sensor went and wasn't comfortable adding a T fitting and basically pulling it out if the head to obtain a location for the e fan temp sensor. I then thought of drilling and tapping the cross over tube but as I was looking down I remembered that I had to cut the lower radiator hose in half. The new adapter gets here tomorrow. I'm going to install a T and run 2 sensors. One kicks on 10 degrees before the other one to keep from having a large draw on the system of both fans kicking on at once.
The engine going back together! Also I moved the ground to the firewall because I didnt want to aimlessly fish a bolt and wire behind the head. Also got the lower radiator hose spliced (again) with the temp sensor adaptor for the fans.
