$13K...uh no. You're correct about Boss 330's work, but off base on their pricing. It's really hard to compare when there are SOOO many variable in the parts alone. There's a $900+ difference in the block alone compared to another alum. block. So...

What did they do to the Valve/Cam covers to make them so nice? Looks way better than the stock castings.

Is that paint or powdercoat on your cam covers? What color is it/paint code?
Lookin' good.
Edit - I saw your post. Find out if it's powdercoat if you can.

WOW, I couldn't wait to get that thing slopping dirty with a bunch of black soot from leaking turbo couplers and spilled oil! I say to heck with 9K RPM, take the accellerator and "put it to the wood" and find out if those valves/springs can handle 10K.
P.S. Be careful who you let know about when you dyno, BBR might show up and tape it, then post it as their N/A gains with ported heads and cams.
All kidding aside Dave that is one beautiful motor. It is hard to tell from the internet but I would consider Al as the top surgeon of his field with the looks of his work, and I would be proud to wear those Boss 330 stickers on my valve covers.

David,
Can you give us the part numbers for the Moroso oil pan and the ATI.
Engine is looking good, Glad to see your close.

Stock pickup and no spacer. I'll have to get the part# on the pan and ATI. The Boss 330 is painted on, no stickers.

Moroso has 2 oil pans that will work. #20546 will go on without any mods whatsoever, as for the one David has I think you have to add a different pickup and maybe a spacer, Dave help me out if this is incorrect.

I think the part number is 20555 but the pickup I'm not sure about. It says to use the stock pickup. But I Don't know if that applies to the 05 4.6L.
Never mind...Thanks David!

Haha, so ~$13k...
Looks incredible and I'm sure the numbers will match.
I know Al does perfect work...But I can't afford perfection, so I wonder if Ford will sell the GT500 motor as a crate engine...
Anyway, congrats.

Al's pricing is at industry standard. On par with Modular Performance and VT among others. Pretty amazing considering the quality of work performed by this literal one man show.

Jason, I'm not one for holding grudges and I honestly, I don't recall what beef your talking about. It's the internet. I'm not about to spend a second of time to search and see what it was about. It's in the past!
You can't go wrong with Al. He has about 8wks of work right now, so "timely" depends on what you think is a long time. It's worth the wait!

8 weeks isn't bad at all. My friend has been waiting 6+ months on his 67 Mustang road race engine. The person he has building the engine is a close friend. It's winter here, so I am not sure how hard my friend is pushing him to get it done. My concern was that my car is my daily driver and I wouldn't want it down too long.

Congrats David. That is on GOOD LOOKING motor you got back. You didn't happen to see mine down there when you picked yours up did you? I can't wait to get it back. I stuck with the Aluminum block though. I only hope mine looks half as good as yours.

His work does look amazing. I am a stickler for details and this thing visually looks perfect. Does he turnaround project in a timely manner? I've dealt with engine builders locally in the past that take forever. It's frustrating to have to wait; kind of when you were a kid on Christmas eve. I know I had a beef with you, but Al will be one of the guys I call when I build my motor![Thumb](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/thumb.gif)

FWIW, our issues are all in the past, no grudges here.
