5.4 swap is just plain ignorant!

I made 371whp/495rwtq with a 5.4, stock bottom end, cams, heads and intake. Mods are 75mm tb, plenum and dropin k&n filter and a 75 shot of nitrous with a little clutch slip. So much for being ignorant With the 175 jets, clutch slip was rediculous and it still managed 450ish rwhp. With a clutch that will hold the tq, Id say it would be good for 475/625rtq. BTW, this was untuned and on 93 pump

With an af of 10.2 and no timing it made 271whp/360tq. Should be about 300/380 with a spot on tune and the rest of the boltons

Labor alone for a 5.4L swap will cost over $2K. If it was such a bang for the buck more ppl would've gone this route.

I'd just wait a little longer and save up for a Vortech.

I agree with all of the above.

If anything, he could spend the money on all the known bolt-ons.

Yea, hopefully with the numbers I just made it will end some of the myths about the 5.4 swaps. Unless there are other stock head/cam/intake/header 4.6's making 371/500 to the tires untuned on a 75 shot and pumpgas? Thinking about going with a spec 5 and spraying 175 and looking for around 475/625. But then again a 5.4 swap is ignorant

hi, nice to meet you

nice to meet you too? since you brought up an old post, please tell me how you did it with parts, not doing the labor, and tuned for the cost. Otherwise..........

I guess you need to reread my post, again, it isnt happening for 2 grand....nice to meet you too.

5.4 swap isnt a bad idea...but its gonna be costly...especially if hes paying for it to be installed.

might as well throw a blower on the 4.6
