5* did the same upgrades and tune to the ecoboost expedition already. Looks super fun. They kinda inspired me to imagine what my could be...

Thank you for your input Jeff!Steve,
You remind me of a friend from the SLK boards who did the some innovative things to the supercharged SLK.
I'm not knocking your ideas or your enthusiasm.....but you could have selected 100 engines better suited to building. I build very high performance two stroke engines and when I do, I have to consider every aspect of the base engine. You are building/have built a thunderous top end....with a crapload of intake flow, prob way too much for a single valve to handle and certainly too much for your crank insert bearings to handle. They are a weak link in that engine. I know that you thought about them, because people you have been on the phone with lately, would have asked. It's a crappy job in a truck engine but I don't know how you avoid doing it.
If you are not replacing them with race-grade, use Mobil1, the 0-40.......... imho it will give you the best change of survival.....
I will add that this is not a April Fool's Joke...She rolled off the lift at the exhaust shop... Does this mean I get a free duel 3" exhaust?

Nice signature really shows how intelligent you are.Really sucks!
I'm not super bummed about the door because I do plan to fix and paint the suv at some point... lol but that some point was no time soon. However with a possibility odd door, idk.That totally sucks Steve! Really sucks!
As far as the paint goes, yes a good painter will make you look at the door and say "where did he paint it"
I restore and collect vintage bikes and had a NOS tank with a 1" chip in it. I dropped it off to LRC triples since I was going up for a wedding ...John and Kathy and his guy did such an amazing job, I can't tell, I TRULY can't tell...and that tank doesn't have a price tag, you just won't find a NOS one, period. They didn't charge any extra so I would assume any good painter can do this.
