i would say to try new injectors then since fuel pump operation is good.

Thanks for the input guys. I did some reading around and even though both a 315/35/20 and 275/40/20 are the exact same overall diameter, I’m not sure if I should chance running different sizes for fear of breaking something with the awd unit. Especially if I’m gonna be running the truck hard off the line from time to time. Btw here’s what I’m planning on getting...
I never had any issues with the AWD unit running my set up. Actually went 12.14 in my flex with that set up and consistent 12.20's without having any issues. ran that set up for a couple years. Just cant rotate the tires, so keep that in mind.
I know this is an old post but i ran the staggered setup for 2 years with zero issue, then moved up to 20x10 +40 on the front as well to run 315s on the front. they dont stick out or rub

Just a quick update.....
Went and visited the shop yesterday (07/21/2023) and was glad to see that the motor and transmission are at least back in the engine bay.
Still a LOT left to accomplish, but progress is progress.
Builder said there's a bunch of little things that are missing like brackets, bolts and what not. Which was to be expected given the now deceased former mechanic who removed the engine, developed into an alcoholic and drank himself to death (God rest his soul).
So he's got all the miscellaneous stuff on order from Ford to replace the missing items.
But the builder appears relieved it's just little stuff.
It was nice to see the look of enthusiasm return to the builder's face, replacing what was once a look of genuine worry/concern etc. given all the unknowns previously.
Maybe from here on out, things will go smoother/quicker.
Hope everyone's well.

Does anyone have any tips for removing the LH (driver side) halfshaft? Is the special tool, 205-832, really required? Is there a lower-cost alternative?
Thank you in advance.

do you have an sho block or one from an explorer? their setups are slightly different, esp on the cop versions. shouldn't have different plug setup but ynk. Oil Pressure Test - Disconnect and remove the oil pressure switch from the engine.
- Connect the engine Oil Pressure Gauge to the oil pressure switch oil galley port.
- Run the engine until normal operating temperature is reached.
- Run the engine at the specified rpm and record the gauge reading.
- The oil pressure should be within specifications; refer to the specification chart in the appropriate engine section.
- If the pressure is not within specification, check the following possible sources:
- Oil pump screen cover and tube
- Excessive main bearing clearance
- Excessive connecting rod bearing clearance
- Piston squirter stuck open
- Oil pump relief valve stuck open

feels like a closeout ... once gone, gone.
