hey, I have been looking EVERYWHERE but I can't find the link to where the magazine did the 5.4 swap... anyone have a link handy?

(yes, i tried searching here, but got a TON of results...)

 

IDK it, but look at the thread "anyone interested in a 5.4 build" or something similar. There's like 200+ pages, I bet it's in there.

 

yea i tried, but after looking through about 9 pages, realizing there were about 37432978732s2636 to go... i decided if someone had the link handy, it would be easier to get...

It was on page 30-something
If not...

 

THANK YA! i appreciate it :-)

 

I have it. PM me your email addy and I'll forward you a copy. Then you can join the discussion and ask us questions. Are you considering a 5.4 transplant?

 

Yea, I will probably do a 5.4 transplant down the road...

What I actually wanted that article for is that I remember it had a good Torque/HP vs. RPM TABLE (not graph) to help me out with some research that I am doing for school to show the different effects of different rear gear ratios in Mustangs. If someone else has a table of the Torque/HP vs. RPM table that would be great, since I couldn't get a whole lot of data points out of the 5.4 table, and the best fit line is more of a best GUESS line, but it worked well enough for what I am doing. I will try and post the excel stuff I have done with it later, as it may be a big help in doing a gear choice for some when it comes to that...

Being a mechanical engineering student can be fun sometimes

 

different gears should show only incidental decreases in hp and about the same tq. 4.10's usually lose a few hp over 3.27's. if you want the article, pm me your address. If you just want data points... go out and pick up any copy of MM&FF and they're sure to have a hp/tq/rpm table you can use.
