OK I AM GOING TO JUMP ON THE 4.6 bandwagon , picked up a 4.6 crank, rods and pistons today
I had thought I could pull the pistons out the bottom to save doing head gaskets again but the way the block is cast there are a few you could not pull so looks like I am poppin the top again
got all my parts ordered up, mostly from amazon and ebay, few things from atlantic british very few , pays to price shop cause everything I am about to list was $901 from ab , after I shopped around I spent 603.47 shipped for everything all I can say is they are insanely overpriced on some items
push rod set ( just cause I did not do em last time )
head bolts and gaskets
intake gasket
timing set and cover gasket
front main seal , rear main seal
main and rod bearing sets
piston ring set
crucifix seals
oil pump
off the top of my head this is it but there may be more
savings example piston ring set ab $260? same set same part number on ebay $80 shipped that is insane markup imo
so with buying all that plus the crank/rods, still need to order motor mounts but this build should be under 1k

how to instal euro model rear bumper on nas d1
As promised instal of hd brit part rear model for euro d1, I may mode the center mount bracket that was included and weld to the frame later if I feel I need more mount support strength
Here is the back of my frame
Had to cut these off , no idea their purpose
Frame prepped
Trim off this lip
Massage bumper bottom where it was contacting bottom of frame rails , I don't think this is a nas vs. Euro model frame issue but a bumper mfg issue, bottom of original bumper is angled this bumper is formed squared /90* on the bottom
Bumper installed with 9/16 grade 8 hardware
