5.4 swap anyone?

[1999WhiteSVT]

im wanting to do something a little different but nothing crazy. so i thought, why not swap a 5.4 for my 4.6?
i thought someone had done this before but i did a search and came up with nothing.
thanks in advance

everyones doing it if you want to be different swap the v10 in it

are you talking about swapping in a SOHC 5.4? if so, the exhaust flow on those heads is very restricted, resulting in sort of a "cap" on top end power....

i'd look up boss 330 racing. i may be wrong but i think they should be able to help you.

I'd just stroke what you got, and run a f-1 blower @ nitrous. And if you want to be different, say, I'm stroked,blown and now she's wet!!!:lol1:

get you mind out of the gutter, plus im not looking to be THAT fast.

as far as i know, know one around here has done it, and i actually had thought of putting a V10 in my old cop car before i got rid of it.

is there a DOHC 5.4? i was hoping for something i could use these heads and intake on for now.

theres both a sohc 5.4 and a dohc 5.4 but swapping the 5.4 isnt different anymore its in every magizine now every one wants it you will loose alot of power but gain alot of tq i personally like to look like im loosing get their head cocky then fly by i like my power

but check on the v10 and the 5.4 then look at the price to just do something to your car try a s&s rear turbo kit thats rare

WHAT?

 

[quikcobra]

the 5.4 has i think 280 hp and 360 tq but i know the hp is less then the 4.6 and the tq is higher

 

[cobrob]

yeah I wish the 5.4 had bigger pistons instead of the extra stroke. Then we'd be talken power!

I was going to swap a 5.4 into mine but i decided to stroke it (5.0) if you want to drop a 5.4 you can do a 5.4 bottom mmr makes an adapter to use your heads/intake you will need to modify your exhaust,need longer timing chains,diffrent timing cover.

Starting:

Side view:

The swap can be done using your stock wiring, PCM, hoses, etc.
It isn't cheap, and if you want, you can even re-use your heads.
I think Naz should port them first.

Eh, 300, 355 thru a heavy auto, with a truck intake, a proper intake does wonders...

Cubic inches are cubic inches, steel rodded 5.4's have seen 8800rpm, so the stroke is not a factor, and the small bores allow for a lighter reciprocating assembly...

There are a few on this board that have done a 5.4 swap. Here are a couple of 5.4 Eaton into GT projects.

Wait, wait, wait, are people referring to that V10 swap as an actual option? I mean, is that possible??? Jeez, if it is, I may have found my dream mod.

 

[brkntrxn]

Anything is possible! It all depends on how much money you have to spend.

 

[Hoosier4.6]

Well I know that, I'm just curious if it's been done and if it's at all practical, like LSx's in RX-7's, and 5.0's in Miatas.
