5.4 swap

mach1337 · 05-18-2009, 02:59 AM

Ok guys heres the deal. bought a procharger for my mach 1. decided i should get a forged short block since its my dd and i want to keep it around a while. started lookin at a 5.0 stroker then i saw the 5.4.

so no my question is how much more work is the 5.4 swap verses the 5.0? i can get the 5.4 4v block for about 2600 or i can get the 5.0 for about 3200. so can someone please enlighten me.

i know you all are gonna tell me that i should do a search. i have for about the past 8 hours. i have been on every mustang forum i can find and i still can find anything.

thanks for your help you guys
