Just got this 97 f150 flareside with a npi 5.4 that’s got 250,000 miles
I’ve always wanted to swap a 4v 5.4 into something so I figured it should be this since I’m supercharging my 2v 5.4 mustang so no 4v for that but that’s for a different thread
As of right now I’ve got a Navi block freshly assembled with new factory Ford flat top pistons out of the 3v 5.4s, I had the pistons coated with moly on the skirts n with ceramic on the tops, I upgraded the rings to nitrided steel, also did forged gt500 connecting rods, n factory forged Navi crank.
The heads are getting new stainless valves I will be running stock cams those will soon be done
It will be getting the boss 260 Aussie intake manifold which is getting modified to run a cable driven dual blade throttle body it will also be getting the IAC and EGR adapted to fit onto it working on mocking it all up now will be getting it welded soon
I’m running aviator exhaust manifolds since that’s all I had laying around for dohc manifolds but I will work on making some long tubes after the swap is done
