any results on blown 5.4s??

BakerFX4 · December 2nd, 2009, 10:43 PM

Im just curious about how the procharger will go with the Procharger. Are there any results out there of a centri on a 5.4 2v? I have my block and crank and could do this swap so im actually starting to consider it. I just keep reading negative things about the swap.

casper gt · December 2nd, 2009, 11:02 PM

don't buy into the latest hipe, there's no real negative's about this (ie. 4.6 2v to 5.4 2v) swap, IMO.

BakerFX4 · December 2nd, 2009, 11:10 PM

what do you mean. I was reading up on some cats saying that the 5.4's need alot of air. What do you think my setup would result in if i ....

5.4 w/ forged internals
stage II livernois 2v heads w/ my HP292 blower cams
P1sc at about 15 pounds. (maybe upgrade to D1)
And the rest of my mods. (i WILL make my LT's work! Got too many tools/torches/welders and best buds with the exhaust shop!)

low 11's with ease. If not HIGH 10s with slicks....Dished Pistons?

casper gt · December 2nd, 2009, 11:14 PM

more cubic inches = more power, period. they need a little more air, true, but nothing drastic. your plan seems just fine to me (all things being equal & sticking with a mild swap).

Scott2001GT · December 2nd, 2009, 11:15 PM

maybe a P51 intake manifold?

BakerFX4 · December 2nd, 2009, 11:16 PM

Casper, i wish you lived closer. You seem like a guy with a tad bit of wisdom and i sure wouldnt mind bum'n some off of you in person..... in the garage..... under the hood....with tools in your hand.......etc. LOL!

thats the one place your stuck, VERY limited intake options.

BakerFX4 · December 2nd, 2009, 11:17 PM

maybe the adapter plates... you seen what those intakes go for? A cowl hood would prolly be needed huh? Been wanting one anyway!

I don't know about living closer, but were still thinking about a trip down there to check out a track or two.

BakerFX4 · December 2nd, 2009, 11:20 PM

i got one about 20 minutes from here. Pretty nice one... Thunder Raceway (has website) in Shreveport, LA.

BakerFX4 · December 2nd, 2009, 11:21 PM

yeah but thats not enough time to umm.... pull my motor.... ummm.... build my motor..... ummm.... put it back.... ummmmmmm....... recieve a hug and some change! lol!

wishIhada5.0 · December 2nd, 2009, 11:23 PM

you could get rediculous and have a sheet metal intake fabbed up?

I have lightly heard that the 5.4's "barrel" the bores on the thrust side of the piston due to a long strokeand how far out of the bore the piston comes...i dont know how much truth there is to it though....GO FOR IT!!!

BakerFX4 · December 2nd, 2009, 11:23 PM

On a serious note, i just dont have anyone that is into this shit to do it all with me. All my friends are broke or just getting started in life and stuff. (22-25 years old) Buncha late bloomers! ha! But if i had someone near me that knew their shit we could have some badass rides. I can do anything as far as paint and body work and they could have the engine know how!

casper gt · December 2nd, 2009, 11:24 PM

I'm just a phone call away. pull the motor & we'll walk you through it.

BakerFX4 · December 2nd, 2009, 11:25 PM

barrels? what is this? And speaking of sheetmetal one... Farrah's dad owns a machine shop so if i had something to go off of, i could make it.

wishIhada5.0 · December 2nd, 2009, 11:26 PM

like the shape of a barrel...cylindrical but with bowed sides

BakerFX4 · December 2nd, 2009, 11:26 PM

Well my thing is.... if i go with my 4.6, ill have to pull it and then build it. If i go with the 5.4, i can have it entirely built without my car being down except for the cams.
