[QUOTE="americansteel, post: 13447141, member: 149471"] . I have googled it many times so I know a few things are for sure different to make more low end torque for towing. I found that the shortblock is the same minus the pistons for slightly lower compression, which would be ok because i plan i turboing it. Then the intake cams are slightly different for the low end tq, would this be bad for a turbo setup, if i have to change them i might as well get aftermarket? And of course the headers are cast instead of tubular for durability, doesn't really matter to me since i plan on turbo. What else have i missed? I may end up just getting the motor in the car and run it N/a with some longtubes unless i feel i can afford to go ahead and tackle the turbo setup at the same time. Hoping a ford mechanic or someone who really knows the differences can help me decide to pull the trigger on this awesome deal or look for a mustang one instead?[/QUOTE] F150 5.0 uses a different intake cam, intake manifold, cast iron exhaust manifolds and supposedly different pistons. if you have plans on turbo, do your self a favor and get a set of better rods. I had a blower on my truck broke 4 rods. 6 PSI going down RT1 with a 9100lbs boat at not even 62mph. btw N/A they suck for towing. good luck with your project. [/QUOTE]
