Will Tillery / 4.0 short block

[Matt Taylor]

I've bought a new short block and have some questions about building it into something I can drop in to my truck.

I think Will Tillery has done this, so if you're out there Will, I could use your help. Tried to send you an email, but your email's not available. If you don't want to be bothered with it, that's cool. I'm just taking a shot.

I'm confused about what parts from a 4.6 engine can be used in a 4.0 short block, what the benefits are, and what to look out for. Also, I'm trying to figure out what parts, if any, should be used from my old block on the new one.

Basically, I need a how-to of what the best way is to build up this short block to be installed in my truck, which I plan to keep and drive forever.

I know that's pretty comprehensive. Probably a pain in the ass question, but I don't know who else to ask.

Any help would be appreciated.
