Re: Engine swap 4.6 to5.4
I didn't think it would be that expensive to do. Where would all the cost be?

Re: Engine swap 4.6 to5.4
I wasn't think a Lightning motor. I was just thinking a regular 5.4, those motors are cheap.

Re: Engine swap 4.6 to5.4
the lightning motor is so tall with the blower that you would have to cut a huge hole in the hood for clearance
with a 5.4 2v motor they make everything to swap them out and even have adapters so you can run the stock intake setup from your 4.6 plus they have a shitload more torque than a 4.6...id swap it out |

The hood clearance for a lightning motor w/ blower was also an issue I did'nt want to deal with. What are some names of companies that make the kits to do a 5.4 swap? and whats the weight differance btween a 4.6 2v & a 5.4 2v? |

Re: Engine swap 4.6 to5.4
it is an easy swap...everything changes over with the exception of the intake adapters.
if i had a mud motor car id do the swap already just for the torque gain and then strap a kit on that bitch and ride it like a two dollar hooker |
