I don't think Vics have ever come with 3v engines, though I could be wrong. IIRC, 05's still have 250hp. If they had made a switch to 3v heads, I would expect them to make more power.

Depending on what you're paying for it, I would just sell the truck (or SUV) and 4.6 separately. It's not worth the effort to insert the 4.6 IMO, since engine-swapped vehicles rarely make back what you pay for them (especially in your case, since you're downgrading to a smaller engine.)
that's the monkey.
delete and disable in the tune to kill the CEL's.

NVH block have more material in them so the consumer hears less engine noise. I've heard that there were no strength differences between non-NVH and NVH. Also I believe non-NVH engines didn't have forged cranks from ford. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

NVH was the 02-end of 2V block. When the 3V heads came out, I'm pretty sure they changed the block as well. Non-NVH was the original 5.4 block casting (I believe?) and was from 97-01. Both should work fine.

[quote=Morgan The Black;378033]Whatever exhaust you're using, plug the EGR port on the manifold BEFORE you put it in the car, its not fun once its all in there.
What did you use to plug the EGR port on the manifold?

LOL. I cannot believe how large the intake manifold is on a Navigator.

I noticed an EGR block off plate/plug listed on Karkrafts site for $30, but they said it only fits 4.6's.

The Aussie division of Ford makes a simpler, higher performance 5.4L intake that's a lot more manageable size wise. I honestly don't understand why Ford isn't using it on the Navigator. Surely any added expense is negated by the increased power?

I'm working on one too and I just can't understand why they built it that way.

Isn't that Boss 290 intake in the neighborhood of $2500? I'm surprised an aftermarket company hasn't taken to reproducing them. If they made one for a 3v engine, I'd be all over it (especially since it has the throttle on the drivers side, just like a P71.)

yeah, i thought mine looked like a preying mantis

KarKraft has 4v adapter plates which are considerable better than 2v plates as there's no sideways jog, wonder how the port size in an Aviator intake compares to the Navi heads? I would assume its much smaller, but there should be some room for porting...

Your car is on a border year and you'll need to identify if you have a t45 or a tr3650 tranny. If it's the latter the drain plug for the tranny will face the ground. If it's a t45 it'll face the side. 3650 definitely has a 11" clutch and will need a 8 bolt flywheel for 11" clutch. An 01 cobra flywheel is appropriate. I converted from 11" to 10.5" by simply installing 10.5" clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel. If you have a t45 then you should probably have a 10.5" clutch and you may or may not have an 8 bolt flywheel... kinda random around early 01' from what I recall of mine.
