5.4's are good for power, but they sure are some ugly motors. plus wont you need a big ass hood?

Not as big as you think he would.

 

[xsoutherngun89x]

i think a 3 in cowl would clear it

the heads on the 5.4 are PI right? then i could just swap my intake onto them...ill go read up some more on it

yes, they are PI heads. but NO, the actual block is bigger so the intake won't line up with the heads.

not a lightining motor, atleast not one with a blower on it...a 6+ inch cowl won't fit over it.

 

[xsoutherngun89x]

if i do it, it will be n/a. no blower for me. this is going to be a bugdet 5.4. im still studying it, there is alot of info on this topic

If your doing a 5.4 liter swap you might aswell get the 4valve 5.4 liter out of a Navigator. be ready for infamous Injector tick, 5.4liters have loud ass injectors.

5.4 4V swap a LOT more involved than a 5.4 2V swap. He will have a good combo with the 5.4 2V

Man you guys are gonna make me start to question my sexuality with all these gay jokes. :nonono: :hammer: :coolsmiley:

oh i know the 5.4 2valve would be awesome in a mustang. I love the 5.4 2valve thats in my truck. but if i were going threw all the hassle of swapping id go Big :dancing6:.

 

[xsoutherngun89x]

yea the 4v is more involved. the 2v is almost a direct bolt in comp wise.

 

[Petek]

350ftlbs of torque at like 3000rpms stock is going to be nuts. good luck with it.

Will you need a new ECU or just a tune? I know the 5.4 and 4.6 are called modular for a reason but I"m not sure if this strictly relates to physical parts or if sensors/computer were interchangeable as well.

 

[xsoutherngun89x]

just a tune to make it perfect, i could get a basic tune through my xcal3 but i would really need a dyno tune

What about the fuel system? Does the 5.4 use the same injectors and fuel pump? Also, can you pass inspection with a 5.4? I don't know my regulations well but I didn't think you can put a truck motor in a car. :dunno:

 

[xsoutherngun89x]

bama doesnt do emitions testin. fuel system is the same, basically the 5.4 is just a tall deck 4.6

Shouldn't need a new ECU for either a 4V swap or a 2V swap. Difference between the 5.4 and 4.6 is the deck height difference.

As far as inspection stuff goes I don't know. We live in Alabama. We don't have inspections or any of that crap.

 

[realitygt]

as long as you don't have a cel you'll pass emission. for safety, as long as your car passes now it will still pass, they mostly check ball joints, brakes, lights and exhaust leaks
