If you don't have a bent valve & the Cam Bore's are OK.....I'm surprised they greenlit a long block! Lucky you regardless!!
Though I hope they lift the cab to do the engine swap! Much easier to get the wiring harness & clips back in correctly. As your generation truck doesn't call for aligning/marking the cab after removal....It's almost foolproof.
Yeah I was very happy with it! Do you by chance know if the 5.4 issues have been addressed? I mean would I expect to get around a hundred thousand out of the new motor or more?
