Still gonna be some time to pull my engine, swap parts as well as give the replacement a once over, but a big step was made today!

I respect your efforts and perseverance in trying to get your 4.6 repaired and running properly!
Personally, I gave up on spending any time and money on 4.6 Modulars a lonnnnng time ago.
I once loved the 4.6 DOHC Modular, but realistically they are a fragile engine lacking at least 100 HP and 100 LB-FT of torque compared to any modern 5.0 Coyote.
If I still owned my Marauder, I would devote all my resources to procuring a Mustang or F150 Coyote 5.0 and the extra effort to making it run in a Marauder chassis.
The 5.0 Coyote is what Ford SHOULD have put into the Marauder.....if only it was available 10 years earlier.
