UPDATE 11/9/11
Well, the lightning currently sounds like this

Bent valve and god knows what else until I tear it apart.
So, she's getting a new motor. I am awaiting a final cost so i can order it.
Its getting an MMR 1000 short block with manley rods, manley pistons, arp main, rod, head and side bolts. All new timing parts, new lifters, rockers, yada yada yada.
Here is MMR's write up on the motor.
MMR 5.4 Street Mod 1000 (up to 900HP) 2V, 3V or 4V
*Cast Iron 5.4. Block Block , torque plate bored and Honed
*New 4340 Forged 4.165 stroke Crankshaft w/micro polished journals at no extra charge
*New 4340 6.658 Manley H-beam Rods ( These US made rods are shotpeened, magnafluxed and weight matched to bring you the finest H-beam rod available for your 5.4
*New Forged Manley pistons (High or low compression)
*Total Seal file fit rings (precision file fit to your application, nitrous, blower, turbo or N/A)
*Clevite Rod and Main bearings
*Complete Pro Assembly and Balancing for the smoothest, highest revving shortblock available, Pre-Lubricated with Royal Purple Assembly Lube and spin tested. Lastly 3 technicians sign off on your new engine prior to packaging and crating.
The heads will get a gasket match and a set of comp cams with the following specs: 113* LSA, 109* intake centerline, 270/274 I/E duration with 234/238 @ 050" lift, valve lift is .550" both I/E. Comp cam's calls it there Hot street cam, should give me a good idle and noticable power increase. Im also running a set of crower high lift springs.
I'll update this post later with pics as I remove the motor and get the new one put together and prep for install.
If anyone local feels like lending a hand, or just wants to point and laugh, feel free to swing by.

Why buy new when you can restore?
Progress is always a good thing!
