Here's a link to the piston, rods and rings on ebay for $839.99 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/5-4-5...mZ170002914279 How's it going R3dn3ck? I sold my Stang back in December but I have an 87 Notchback now with a 4cyl. and trying to decide if i still want to build a 5.4.

twin... you're back. Welcome. Yes you still want to build a 5.4. in a notch that would be sick fast... you can get notches down to an easy 2900 lbs. thing would accelerate like a lambo.

Right now the title says it ways 2650 lbs. That's what i'm thinking but i'll probably go 4v since i have to get an engine harness and computer for the swap anyways. I sold my rods and pistons awhile back though but i still have the block and crank and timing cover.

Is there a difference between 2v, 3v, and 4v blocks? Because i was looking at DSS short blocks and the don't offer short blocks for the 4v just 2v and 3v. I thought they were all the same. Do you think it's just the valve relief in the pistons?

the 2v and 4v are identical 100%. the 3v have a different mount setup but can be adapted to older cars.

Well damn that's pretty sweet if that's true. I found a 03 Navi 4v motor for $3400 on ebay. Don't have the money right now but when i do that would be sweet i was planning on having to change the rods and pistons.

they're not forged motors... they're stock HE cast pistons and skinny minnie frag-o-rods. I'm pretty sure the navi's after 98 came with a standard cast steel crank. Under that kind of power (assuming 13300 = 1300) the ability of the main caps to stay where they belong will have a lot to do with the motor holding together. You'd have to be nuts to do that on a stock bottom end. I'd be looking for billet rods and main and head studs, o-ringed heads... the works.

i so close to cranking the beast up but there are so many little details i have to resolve first.
note to all: the waterneck on 96-98 motors are diffrent then 2000-up. the later points to the right and the earlier one points to the left. also the newer ones have smaller holes for the bolts since it is aluminum and the plastic ones have metal sleeves in it and bigger holes for it.

ok, this is gonna be fun. i just put 8 qts of oil in the motor and remote oil filter and it is only halfway up the safe area on the dipstick. on the old motor all i had was the stock oil pan from my 4.6 and it took 7 qts then. so i guess the more oil the cooler it will stay.
