Thanks for posting up for me, but yeah i need a intake or spacers if anyone has one...

 

I'm not the least bit frustrated. The methanol kit is installed and works fine in the testing I've done. I have a couple little odds and ends to do but nothing big or even remotely hard. What I see is an opportunity to retire earlier than I've been projecting and still be able to get another faster mustang. The L swap wasn't really hard it just had a lot of cost to do the way it looked in my head.

I really love the beast but there are other beasts to be had.

BTW... I needed the methanol kit working before driving the car to the tuner in order to not blow the engine into little tiny shards as soon as it went into boost. It's got high compression and a relatively stock chamber and 91 octane is total weak sauce.

 

well before the car is gone you better let us know what it makes on the dyno!!

 

I'm hoping one of you hippies buys it.

BTW, existing swap thread contributors can get it for a significant discount. You'll have to PM me if seriously interested to get the special discount (the special deal includes all the extras from deal #2 in my sale thread, just for a lot less)

 

Well I have been in and out of this thread/forum checking out info on the 5.4L swap, I thought I should post up what I've been doing with a buddie's car.

My friend has an 01 GT, we picked up a 5.4L long block out of a truck that caught fire. Short block was re-built, .020 over, forged pistons, scat rods, stock crank. Set up for a little lower compression (he wants boost later), about 9:1. He picked up an HPS intake from someone on this site (the "*****" intake I believe). Lightly ported stock PI heads, stock valves, Comp 278ah's (degreed to 110).

Plus all the reg bolt-ons, TB, plenum, headers, x pipe, cat-back ,etc.

Got it fired last night, stock computer did not like this set-up, thats for sure. But we swapped some 39 lb. Cobra injectors in and towed it to the dyno/tuner. After some tuning, we finally started putting numbers down, a little lower then expected, but not too bad.

310 HP wheel, 335 ft/lbs. wheel. Very flat torque curve, has over 300 torque between 3500 or so and close to 6K. Peak power hits about 5800 rpm or so, and stays about 300 HP until the rev limiter at 6500.

We'll probably go back after the engine has some miles on it.

 

ive got R3d's old set. i pm'd you about it.

 

are those my reichards or my pro-prods?

stalker: those are good numbers. add some longtubes and you should land at around 330rwhp which is the current record for a 5.4 on PI heads.

For the record: Desktop dyno predicted those numbers with those mods, down to the 1 degree of retard on the cam stretching the power band out to 6100. Good work man.

 

Oh sweet, I'll have to let him know.

Yeah I swear any shop or "mod motor" guy we talked to gave us **** about degree'ing the cams, but I'm glad we did it. I was hoping he would take the plunge and get some TFS heads for it, but he said for a little bit more he could have the blower and make more.... I myself love n/a cars, but whatever, lol

 

I finally got around to taking a few pics of the dyno data. Figured I'd post it here if anyone was curious. I wonder what it could run in the 1/4 with some slicks.

 

That's sweet indeed ...

 

Verry nice. Even tho the Tq dropped the HP hung in there

 

Thanks for the kind words guys, she's a blast to drive too bad it's snowing here now.

 

what are your mods?? It would be nice to compare what I may be looking at someday to your results.

 

I listed my major mods a couple pages back. Page 274 I think.

 

Been thinking about selling my lightning **** now and i have yet to get it fired up i have 100 things going on with this car at once it seems and am now tossing around the idea of putting a carb on it

But then ill never have the power i have now unless i hit it with some juice

 

Ok, so I guess I'm the total dumbass then.

 

i couldnt resist the temptation of polishing it lol, if its gonna stick thru the hood its gonna look good doing it,polished blower is next

 

dam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she be beautiful....

 

That intake is SWEET ... Nice job !!!

 

Never said that. Assumptive a tad bit maybe but dumbass... naw. I know some real dumbasses... you couldn't even train to be as dumb as them. **** you spell dumbass with a b. You can't has dumbassness with correct spelling of words with silent letters.

seriously... good fuggin work man. Well done.

A note about polished parts, they shed heat really unevenly. Not a huge concern but a note.

 

Nice, I could probably pluck hairs off my *** lookin into that finish.

 

Just thought I would show off what just arrived in the mail...
Full MMR 900 rotating assembly. showing off the heads/top end parts as well.
Got the intake from tommy, some more odds and ends and ill be set to put this baby together!

Just got the rotating assembly in the mail!

 

dam! those pistons and rods are almost to nice to hide inside a motor. i'd have them on my desk to play with everyday at work...

 

Nice parts .... Looks like somebody is having a great Christmas this year !!!

 

 

Anybody got a side by side pic of a 4.6 and 5.4 oil pan?

 

anyone interested? 150.00 plus shipping

 

I'm under the impression they are both the same ... (???)

 

Nice looking VC(s) ... price seems right.

I've been planning on a set being powder coated if it can be done on the plastic factory valve covers.

I'll pass this on to others to see if I can help you sell them.

 

are those plastic or metal?
