The swap was relatively easy. Just time consuming because its my first engine pull and I had no help.
Would recomend it to anyone. Only problem with the whole process was that I could not get them to schedule a time to pickup the core and it rusted from sitting outside. Already spoke with the shop and they apologized and will not be charging me a core if its unusable.

No i haven't probably about the same , I did do a lot of parts replacement along with the motor rebuild along with bored out throttle body , ported heads , intake plenuim , and intake manifold , along with headers and exhaust , but tell you what , I bet that 3.4 feels real nice with the bolt on supercharger.

cool man , yeah when you call them to order your motor you will talk to the man in charge his name is Greg tell him you want your motor delivered in a timely matter cause he told 1 week it would take to build and ship motor and it took 3weeks also it took him 2 months to have my core picked up , just let him know your not into any games and want a solid motor rebuild ! , so far I got 6k miles on my motor and running solid , after the break in period I recommend advancing the timing a bit to get the nice power band out of it , and I paid an extra $200 to have the heads ported.

My raptor engine is still good! No problems besides a warped valve cover leak. Runs awesome! Goot about 15k on it and no problems. I was running premium and had the timing set to 20* and it had AWESOME power. I currently set it back to 12 so I could use regular gas again.

But it got more responsive , think I'm gonna put the timing light on it and try and set it at 20 and see how she performs , but right now no issues and running strong
