Am I the only one who thought that it was a bit strange that two dudes who never post showed up to tell us how much they love Cannibal?

very astute

Hey Lawndart!

Tell me more (all that you care to share) about your GPR engine.

-did you have GPR do it at their shop in OK or did you have it shipped to you?
-self install or done by an indy?
-4.0 or 4.6, notice more hp?
-green coolant or dexcool
-what kind of oil are you running to break it in (first 500mi and after)?
-did your old block have a crack/dropped liner?
-what else did you change out of your d2 when you did it?

No amout of info is too much!

I had my truck sent to GPR. They removed the engine (4.6), did their thing and re-installed. Mike drove it during break-in and changed the oil. I picked up the truck after that.
I had already flushed the system and installed the green - Mike returned it that way.
I am using Shell Rotella and just changed the oil as I hit 3k since Mike changed the oil.
Originally, the oil pump broke and took out the timing chain.
All the drama here.

@Dusty1...off-topic re: lawndarts as a toy...

Ever wonder why we were told it was ok to play w/metal darts, but not to run with scissors? Does any kid ever have a reason to run with scissors? Ever consider that some elder (parent, sibling?) wanted you injured ? I'm just saying ...

Damn, I'm over halfway to that 6k benchmark...

I felt like it was pure spam.

In terms of the 4.0 vs 4.6, I see your point. Especially the core charge part.
Apparently your paranoid behavior has got the best of you...dr mordo

I am one of them and I stand behind the best decision that can be made for a engine swap for these trucks. If you or anyone else is contemplating a motor swap and want more intelligent info please feel free to email me directly at dfrankel3508@comcast.net

^I sent a friend to Cannibal V8 because of recommendation from Yoops, as well as Bill at RTE's reaction to the engine.
