Is the 5.4 the same?
 

Theres a guy I know that has a 5.4 out of a 98 model f250 truck for sale. It was pulled out to put in a diesel motor. He has it up for sale for 250 dollars. Is this motor the same as the new 5.4's like in the lightning?
I mean block and head wise. Im thinking of buying it for trading material towards a trans and just want to know if someone could use this motor for a modular motor class or something and be competitive.

Ok guys, anybody know anything about the mod motors. I picked this motor up today and its in great shape.

Besides not having a blower, I would think so. I think you made a good decision.
just my .02 cents

I believe the Lightning got different heads.

It should be the same 5.4. I dought that Ford would make two different 5.4's.

the motor you have is rated at 260hp, there is another 5.4 though, its DOHC and is used in the Navigator rated at 300hp, its also what the 00 Cobra R engine is based from,
i say find a cheap used standard cab 2wd F150 and put that in there with the lightning blower and go have some fun http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

they have two 4.6 2cam and 4cam same with the 5.4 2cam and 4cam

It should have the same heads as the Lightnings. They have different pistons and rods I believe though (Lightnings got beefier ones). Holley has a kit for the 5.4L 2V you can supercharge with; wouldn't think the power would be that much lower than a Lightning in the end.

Thanks for the info. Supercharging it is a definate, but not for me. Im putting all my money in the 347 blown vert(MUSTANG MARE OF THE MONTH). I just picked this up because it was a good deal. I'll pass this on to someone else. Its for sale, best offer or trade for something I can use. Hurry Hurry Hurry, build your own sleeper. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/eek.gif
