You can get a new long block for less than $3k, replacing the engine may be a good option. https://ford.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/ford-long-block-jr3z6006k?c=az0x
took me two days to remove and install, not an easy job on jack stands. Lots of trial and error finding the right size socket to remove and install them. Freeze the bearing the night before. I fitted a heavy duty torque wrench to the tool I used, it helped a lot!
āThe Ford Performance kit is the package that comes the closest to this, which is why I recommend itā Iām with Tee on this, the package overall is very good for dual purpose cars. I installed it 2 months ago on my magneride Mustang and itās far better than I expected.
I completed the install this week. This kit works! The VDM software is really the glue here. I drove the car with the hardware installed and no VDM update for a couple of days, mostly to compare to the Steeda springs. Car handled really good, the bounciness was gone and it felt firmer in all...
I find the Steeda springs bouncy in normal mode, thereās some bounciness too in track mode. Iām guessing the stock Magneride calibration (although it works), doesnāt pair well with this spring, will report back on the Ford kit once installed.
Adding to this thread, CJ Pony has this kit on Black Friday sale $899.99 with free shipping, I just purchased it to replace my Steeda dual rate springs, plus Iām curious about this VDM tune.
FWIW, Iāve been running these but at the factory 265 size (canāt find them larger at 19s). For me they seem to run best at 34-35 front, 32-33 rear, factory sway bars with dual rate springs, vertical links, delrin toe bushings and sub frame bracing. Like T said, they heat up fast, I check...
