i would imagine that there is a kit for an f-150 you ought to be able to adapt to it. just out of curiosity do you have any under hood pics? thanks, Dave

Actually I will make different suggestions for your combination. Understanding that you have a motor that is not going to want 6500 rpms. I will suggest a little more stall than what you want and a little less gear. Get it into the power and keep it there. I would suggest around 3000-3200 stall and 3.55 gears. Some prefer the 3.27's. The cam you have the right idea, but any aftermarket cam(s) worth having are going to want more stall. You have reached a very sensitive subject here on the tccoa, tread lightly and welcome aboard. This is not the suggested engine of many,but everyone does have the right to do as they please.

why dont people like that type of engine?

 

[FunktasticLucky]

its not whether we like it or not... its the fact that to most its just not worth the effort. Cuz they put out gobs of torque but not a whole lot of HP

 

[The Great Obucina]

because we can make the same power, if not more by using a 4.6 and spending less money.

i got the car with the 5.4 in it...

 

[Porkchop]

really? thats interesting, got any pics?

 

[coggonobrien]

here's the car as he got it

[The Great Obucina]

he used to have a forum member in tampa who posted asking app questions about the 5.4. Thats probably his old car.

Anywho, thats cool, its not my bag of tortillas and salsa, but its your car so enjoy.

 

[nickmckinney]

That looks suspiciously like a truck intake, which means you won't be getting much over 5000RPM out of it, but an a$$load of torque. Should be a fun car when its done. IMHO you need the TFS 5.4 2V intake when it comes out this summer, but it will cost more than the price you paid for the entire car............

 

[fallen4]

the guy i got it from told me about this forum...did he say anything bad about the car???

 

[krazy4]

well on the nitrous subject, i have no doubt that you could run a 50-75 shot and probably a 100 shot for sure.

 

[Thomas]

If you want a small shot like that, or even up to 100hp. You can get the Zex mustang kit for the 4.6. It is activated by the 5v signal from the TPS, so you can floor it most of the way then mash it and get the nitrous to activate, or just mash it at launch and forget what the word 'traction' means.

You got that car for 700? WHAT A DEAL 5.4 or not! nice! Put a lightning blower on top
