the crank is what the flywheel/flexplate bolts to, so you will just need to buy a 8 bolt flexplate. no biggie.

o ok cool and can you use the 4.6 crank case?

 

[duff daddy]

crank case????

The crank determines if its 8 or 6 bolt...

I just had to buy an 8 bolt flexplate, was under $60 from Ford.

8 bolt flexplate can be had from a mach 1

 

[ElijahStrong]

o ok well what i mean is can you use the stock 4.6 crank case on the 5.4L if i where to swap

I dont want to own a vehicle with a flex plate.... i run flywheels....

what are you trying to ask here?? question makes no sense.

 

[ElijahStrong]

mine is a 6 bolt and the 5.4 is a 8 bolt and i wanted to know do you have to change crank case also :violent1:

 

[Mustang Mark]

all you have to do is buy an 8 bolt flex plate and bolt it on the the 8 bolt crank which the 5.4 has

 

[Lee12609]

Yes we got the flexplate part but you keep saying crankcase, what part are you talking about when you say crankcase.

 

[ElijahStrong]

torque converter

the crank case is the cavity made by the oil pan and area above the crank and below the pistons in the cylinders...how would you change that?

 

[Lee12609]

torque converter

Your converter will bolt up to the new flexplate without a problem.
