I've gotta figure out how I'm going to rout my throttle cable soon. I'm gathering my remaining parts and I'm aiming to fire this thing up by the end of the month if everything goes my way. I think a longer throttle cable may be my best bed for making the turn but if anyone has any ideas on other options that would help.

I also just sent off my rotating assembly for balancing, ordered oil pump, injectors, and filters, about to put in the order for fuel lines and other than some miscellaneous hardware, I should have everything I need to get it going.

 

Trying to get my fuel level sensor wired up. Does anyone know what the white wire on here goes to? I've got the power wires to the pump, the yellow wire to the float, and I can't figure out where the white wire goes.

 

Hello Everyone,

I have a question for all the people who have used the HPS 5.4 intake. Has anyone had any issues of fitment flush on the heads. I have a r3d's intake and just went to set it on motor but it is hitting in the valley area and not allowing it to set flush on heads. My block is a GT500 and is probably the NVH style block. I am just looking for suggestions on how to make it fit. I have heard shaving letters off the bottom plate and grinding the area out on the block.

Thanks Guys.

 

use the felpro gaskets, they are thick enough to sit it up high

 

No sorry man I didn't have it dynoed yet its still untuned. That's my plan for this summer is to have it dyno tuned when i swap out the 5 speed for automatic. I can tell you that I beat vettes all day ha

 

well, if anyone is looking for a unquie intake, i'm selling the lightning/cobra intake i was working on. picked up the hps and this time i'm sticking with it.




anyone interested, pm me and we'll hash out a deal...

 

this thread is one of the reasons i joined this forum

I am working on peicing together parts

i already have a block lined up
will use the hps intake for sure, comp cams not sure on the grind yet tho
im sticking 2v

what yall reccomend for piston dish on n/a application, not familiar with 5.4 comp ratios

 

flat top pistons, comp cam stage 3, hps intake, LT's,

 

4V is so much more fun.

 

i can vouch for the 4v!!!

 

i will def not go stage 3s , im looking at comp 270s, hps intake for sure, dont feel like spending the change on long tube headers tryin to stay in budget, i dont want to go to high on the cr 10s would be nice and streetable, this is my daily driver here

 

pm me i have some icthing to come out for my turbo grinds to replace....

 

4v oil pumps are on backorder EVERYWHERE!!! I'm getting frustrated.

 

I also need a secondary chain tensioner, anyone know where I could pick one up cheaply?

 

Just use the E46 3V pump.
It's about 50 bucks your cost
Which side?
FRPP has a complete kit for the 5.4 32V for a very reasonable cost.

I'll check out that pump, didn't know it was an option. I don't need the whole kit, I already have everything except the one tensioner. I think it's the passenger side but I'm not really sure, would have to go out in the garage and check.

 

Find out which side and send me a PM saying which it is.

 

PM sent, where can I buy that pump you linked me to?

 

PM sent

 

Guys, I read that on the 2v blocks that are going to use 4v heads you have to drill a hole in the block? Does anyone have any pics or tell me where the hole has to go? I assume its related to cooling. Thanks.

 

im in need of some stock 5.4 rods and pistons. does anybody have a set of those lying around?

 

Hey I'm sure this has been askd befor but I can't find a post anywhere. But has anyone tried to use the 5.4 2v truck long tubes for there swap or am I just stupid for asking lol iv looked at them and I can't tell from a pic how far down they drop or how far they stick out.

 

I actually just pulled a set a few days ago. They were out of a stock rebuilt longblock that's never been run. They have 0 miles on them.

 

Oh ya everyone I have 3v 5.4 out of a 07 king ranch when I pulled the valve cover and oil pan I found a lot of sludge build up the motor turns over freely but do you guys think its any good I know i m gona have to replace the rod bearings and maybe the mains. I'm sure the heads are done to. I has flat top pistons did all the 5.4s have flat tops?

 

I have a chance to get a 5.4 4v from a Nav. missing the intake and valve covers. I have an 99 GT 4.6 2v

How many other parts am i going to need for this mod?
Would i be better off getting a 5.4 2v ?

I need to start this project asap

 

You'll need a lot of stuff, but it's a fun project.

 

Or just get a drop in.
I am building one, includes nearly everything,
even the Boss 290 manifold.

 

Anyone?

Also can I re-use my chain followers and tensions from my 4.6 4v?

Are the SOHC and DOHC timing chains the same for a 5.4?

My timing cover arrived yesterday. 150$ to my door. I got a eye on a used crank (std mains and rods) for 200$ + shipping.

 

if anyone is interested I built a 5.4 brand new block stage 2 heads forged crank forged pistons H beam rods and a custom timing cover to mount the vortech incuded all brand new never run everything to put a blown 5.4 in a 2000 mustang and the car as well a clean red ragtop 4 sale email me at windblowninwy@aol.com

 

Just ordered head studs and gaskets. Will be getting my crank back soon and beginning my assembly.
