My curiosity was not the threads and sealing but the length when installed. Seems like the tapered will seat deeper in the head and protrude further into the combustion chamber. Your photo make it look as such, even the diameters look different, but you have them in hand to compare, probably have them in already, without any problem!? KM

I compared them side by side, and they are the same length, they’ll stick down in the cylinder the same amount. it doesn’t look like it in the pic.

I have already driven around and gave it some throttle too and she runs good.

Alright guys, I’m planning a built 3.5 motor.

I need to start a list.

I just searched on Fairway ford parts and it looks like the raptor and regular f150 share the same crankshaft. It’s the same exact part number.

So I will use a that crank.

King bearings

and then I’m trying to decide on which pistons and which rods I should go with.

 

[FanaticalKilla]

Set a goal and build parts around that goal.

Like a hp goal?
Really it’s just going to be a motor in case mine ever blows. As you know, I didn’t have that backup plan last time.

I’d like it to be capable of 1100hp, and I am good friends with Jake McCartney who has a 9 second truck. I’m going to basically copy his engine build. Going to get the deck closed on the block too.

 

[Boatwaco]

Why not build a motor, put it in the truck and keep the original motor as the backup?

And I may just do that. I’m not sure yet. But I’m not really planning on blowing up my stock motor either. If I had e85 nearby I would push it more, but I don’t so we are kinda limited. I’m just gonna build an engine, and I’ll do something with it when it’s all done.

 

[boostkingMatt]

I’m going to use Adam’s spec pistons which are Wiseco
And also going to use Boostline rods
Then I will use arp head bolts, cometic head gaskets, king main bearings, and that’s it. I’ll formulate a list and post it here soon. I contacted Fairway Ford Parts and Nathan is talking to the marketing team about sponsoring a block.
we will see what happens.

 

[Boatwaco]

Tell Nathan I said “hi”!

That will last about all of 10 minutes at your place once it arrives lol

Anyone else get this?

On a side note, here’s where I’m at with the built motor.

I found an oem 2021+ block brand new on eBay for 530$ and I ordered it today.

I have decided I’m not doing the cylinder support system for this build, I want to save as much money as I can.

Also, the pistons I’m going to use can be ordered at stock diameter, so I do not have to get anything bored out further.

Interesting that a new block is bored to fit pistons right from the beginning. At best I’d think you still have to hone the cylinders. But what do I know. I’ve never bought a new block.

Im still waiting for the rear bumper pictures.

Yeah I’ll probably have to hone it. I’m not sure yet haha.

Don’t worry! They’re coming. Says those bumper pieces will be here Thursday.

Does anyone know about the part numbers?

Why does the photo of the block I bought show NL3E-6015-AA and the 2021-2024 block on ford parts website says NL3Z-6010-AA

 

[GearHead_1]

1100 HP, open deck aluminum block, short life, all belong in the same sentence.

Punch the block number in Ford's website and it comes up as:

Part searched may be obsolete or invalid.

It may simply be an earlier block that has been superseded.

Speed costs money, how fast are you going to go?

I am probably not going to run more than 8-900 hp. I don’t even have e85 here so it’s more of a backup motor for my truck at this point. Who knows I might change my mind and have the CSS done. I don’t know yet.

Hmm, I think the block I got is a remanufactured one. Which isn’t bad I guess.

 

[GearHead_1]

Why do you think that? Are you thinking re-sleeved?

 

[boostkingMatt]

Why do you think that? Are you thinking re-sleeved?

No just run it like it is with oem sized pistons and Boostline rods. Adam said getting the deck closed isn’t imperative. Is it better? Yes. It also costs more. We’ll see.

I think but not positive that N =2022 year (block) 6010/6015 =engine component category. (block)
I put block there because if you read those numbers off the block well you know it’s the block.
