Well I pulled my motor since I was burning about 2 quarts of oil in-between changes(courtesy of the N2MB Wot Box) with intentions of just doing a reseal. That plan didn't last long so now it's gonna be a big build(in my eyes).

Here's what I have so far:

MMR 900SE 4.75l stroker shortblock, 8.9:1 comp, notched pistons, MMR high performance water pump, ARP head, main and rod bolts. MMR side bolts. Ford high volume oil pump
Kenne bell 1.5l w/ 8lb pulley
39lb injectors
90mm MAF
BBK twin 65mm tb
felpro headgasket kit and seals
Accel coil-packs

I kept the high compression so I don't lose any low end power, and I could always upgrade to a 2.1 in the future if I wanted. I'm not sure what cam I want to go with, but I've been looking at comp's 106460 and 106360 and don't know which I'd rather have. I've heard of people getting a custom grind but don't know whether or not that'd be worth it for me. I'm hoping to make around 450+- to the wheels when I'm done and be able to drive it around town and cruises. I guess I'm just looking for everyone's opinion if I'm heading in the right direction or not and what you would/wouldn't do. Thanks guys :beer:

Here's a few pics of the ripout/teardown

Thanks, I just bought a MMR forged shortblock which is a brand new 04 cobra iron block with forged internals, good for 900hp. And I'm getting my heads ported and putting a comp stage 3 blower cam in. That's my plans for right now anyways.

Wow that's pretty damn cool...as Matt said definitely keep us updated on the build.

Doing anything else to the car aside from motor work at this time?

I'm looking at a built T45 or viper spec T56...not sure which route I wanna go just yet with the trans. Clutch is most likely going to be a spec stage 2 or 3 with a spec flywheel that i have already. Probably gonna pick up a set of subframe connectors and tubular k member as well.
