5.4 litre out of a truck?

[sesso]

I found a 5.4 motor from an f 250 for 750$ is it worth swapping out the 4.6? they only have 300 hp stock too.

Ya but the torque numbers go through the roof!!!

There are alot of guys that have done it here:

Because its so far off due to money I havent researched extensively so I dont even know if what I want is possible, but my eventual goal is an all aluminum, 5.4 stroker 3v with a KB 2.8H.

You can but the GT500 motor complete (iron block), but its expensive $16K :jaw-dropping:

[FalconGTHO]

See, its iron and 4v. I want aluminum and 3v. Ill have to get an aftermarket block I know. What I dont know is if KB has a 2.8H for 3v, I dont think so, so then its a question of if they ever will or if someone will market an adaptor system.

sounds like an interesting plan keep us posted

alan you could always do my setup with the 2.6L kenne and just get a smaller pulley and run some more boost. i would just stick with the 4.6 and get new internals and you should be set.

I read that all i would need is adapter plates and can keep the same computer.

[FalconGTHO]

Tyler I want the cubes AND the torque provided by the longer stroke. AND I like the 3v heads. But yes, if it turns out to be unworkable, unavailable, then yeah, Ill just build the typical balls out 4.6. Everything I would do to a 5.4 Id do to a 4.6, Id just have less cubes.

My old cobra' I sold jason has a 5.4 with a thumper on it, the adapter plates are usually on back order and you will have some down time. Might as well get a navigator motor and start fresh or look on CL for the guy selling a complete 03-04 cobra motor for $7500.
