ok guys my question

i am saving for the forged shortblock 4.6 or 5.4 depends on if i can get the vortech to work with the 5.4

do i need a new bracket for my sq-trim to work with the 5.4 shortblock if i go that route or will i need to get a 5.4 and a 4.6 timing cover and do some cut and welding to get it to work


i am tring real hard to understand why i should not go with the 5.4l forged shortblock over the 4.6l

i know i will not be able to use my bbk long tube headers but that no problem i still have my shorty headers and midpipe from before the long tube


i think a 5.4l supercharged car would be nice


ps how can u get 5.8l out of a 5.4l if that is even possible

you will need a different supercharger bracket for the 5.4L. you could get a 5.8L out of the 5.4L by stroking it, but there is already a ton of stroke on the 5.4L.

Lots of reasons not to go. But thats a whot nuther thread. You will have to get a new bracket. But it is best to call vortech and compair part numbers of the brackets from the 2 kits. Your car and say a 2002 F-150 or something like that.
