A few issues, but MAJOR.

First is the engine. I'll assume its a 5.0l [I didn't read anywhere that it was a 351w].

Any 5.0l engine will crack right down the middle of the block at, or around 500hp. Also I don't think I read where it had forged pistons. If not then WHY doesn't it? Any good forced induction engine will have forged pistons, not cast, not hyperpathic. Also, what about the connecting rods. No way would I run the factory rods with the 5/16 rod bolts in any performance engine.

Also, the transmission. Its just listed as a 5 speed so I think we can assume its a factory Ford 5 speed which was an Ok trans for the factory 225hp, but NOT for anything making around 500hp.

The other issues have been discussed. Anyway, then engine alone would be a deal breaker for me.
