First off, please dont flame me. I searched "5.4 motor swap" and "motor swap" and i dont know what i am doing wrong but it came back with 0 results.

That being said, has anyone done this. Will it work with our transmissions or no? And is there currently someone doing the swap now? And lastly, is it worth it or would it take tons of money to complete? Thanks guys.

[casper gt]

there are quite a few 5.4 swaps floating around.

very straight forward & cost effective swap, as long as it meets your goals, it's very much worth doing.

Ask r3dn3k about the 5.4 litre stuff,he is the king of those swaps

[86er]

its a direct bolt in, you have to do a few small love taps inside the oil pan, need an hps intake or adapter plates(band aids but work) and shorty headers or stock manifolds unless you want to pay some money for swap headers aka custom made by a few places.

Anyone intrested in 5.4L swaps, in here. Need you to opine. - Mustang Forums check that out

[fordx316]

very cool. I was going to buy a lincoln mark 8 and swap a 4.6 with 4 vavle heads, but i think ill look into a 5.4 swap instead. It would defiently be more original.

[sharkbait]

The problem is with the search. You cant really search 5.4 swap or 4v swap or stuff like that

Got any questions? Im the on hand 2v 5.4 guy here

Yes our transmission bolts right up.

You can either use your manual or automatic trans

Iv already done the swap

It is worth doing, also its not a very expensive swap at all. My total came to about 2500 with an HPS intake manifold (800 bucks), FRPP headers (300) and the motor (1200). The rest was misc stuff

[20GTstang02]

im looking into this swap too. not to thread jake but wheres a good place to get internals for this engine. i fought one with low oil pressure and i think its just bearings but i havnt looked at it yet. I also take it the long tube headers wont work with it

[superbeef1000]

i am doing the swap as well , but i am a long ways from it being complete i am waiting for cash to buy forged crank rods so on and trick flow heads

[20GTstang02]

if i do the swap ill prolly just put stock longblock in for now just so i have the car running then i can get parts together for a built engine. i will also prolly turbo mine as well. but that wont be till later down the road. but why cant you use the stock intake off the 5.4 engine?

[sharkbait]

Ok the stock intake off a 5.4 sits up really high in the center. So high you would have to cut a hole in your hood for the plenium. Also the 5.4 intake is a terrible design for what you would like to use it for. Its built for low end torque like for towing and such. So replacing it with your PI intake with adapters OR a HPS intake manifold like i had you could make way better power and not have a hole in your hood.

The 5.4 should use the same oil pump as a 4.6. You might wanna buy another oil pickup tubes aswell which will also be the same as a 4.6

[superbeef1000]

well the intake off the 5.4 is a turd and is a lot taller,, i think its set up with a fly by wire tb , well it was in my case as the engine came out of a 05 ford f-150

[sharkbait]

wouldnt that be a 3v?

[superbeef1000]

yup ,, well iy use to be a 3v but i pulled it all apart

[superbeef1000]

i know i sould have just lef it how it sat but i all ready have a lot of money in on new 2v stuff

[86er]

what did you do/are you doing with the 3v heads?

[superbeef1000]

they are just sitting on the shelf - the cam phsers they have 52k miles on them you intrested in them, i have the valve covers front dress so on

[superbeef1000]

well 86er i see your not local any more

[Bullitt5339]

I haven't seen a single mild 5.4 2V swapped car outperform a 4.6 2V car with the same mods on the track. The extra torque is fun on the street, I'm sure, but on the track, it's a different story. So to me, who is primarily building a drag car, the extra cost to make the headers for the 5.4, and the limited intake choices make it a crappy choice when compared to the 4.6.

Now, I drool over Fastlane's Twin Turbo 5.4 DOHC car, but that's a completely different animal.
