nope just a n/a 5.4 4V beast that has a sick fuckin hood

White99stang · May 13th, 2008, 11:18 PM

no it was just a 5.4, its not a blower that causes the problems on 5.4's, its the specific lightning 5.4 with its eaton that causes the high problem. a 5.4 fits just fine, its the eaton and the way that its setup that makes it stick over 7 inches higher than the stock hood

adrenaline=lifeline · May 13th, 2008, 11:21 PM

i new it was the s/c that did the job and specially if he went for a whipple 2.3-3.4 but lower block a little would bring top of s/c down too. but isnt there a magazine w a crown vic w a s/c sitting out hood? y not do that and put scoop over it lika old style hemi?

adrenaline=lifeline · May 13th, 2008, 11:29 PM

btw u could consider a 302 ora 351 pushrod swap. they like all power adders specially nos and turbos

HBK_2007 · May 14th, 2008, 12:24 AM

or just get a mach hood and have a shaker,lol

adrenaline=lifeline · May 14th, 2008, 12:27 AM

yea a BIG shaker

HBK_2007 · May 14th, 2008, 12:28 AM

or just have it stick out like the old school blowers, lol

adrenaline=lifeline · May 14th, 2008, 01:16 AM

i think hes gonna have view issues if this is anything but a straight line car

Eagle2000GT · May 14th, 2008, 09:25 AM

I could be wrong about this, but can't you put 4.6 heads on a 5.4, use the 4.6 intake and avoid the hood clearance problem?

White99stang · May 14th, 2008, 09:43 AM

no

MustangMatt96GT · May 14th, 2008, 09:56 AM

5.4 2V heads are the exact same as 4.6 2V heads. The difference is the witdth between the two sets of heads. Its from the nearly inch taller deck. which if you know geometry, think of it as a radius and the longer the radius and the same angle the longer the arch length.

Scott2001GT · May 14th, 2008, 10:46 AM

Lightning all badass. all colmon* shift. THe 2001 Corbra motors are nice too something around 320hp and the Terminator is the best over all and they all get pretty shity gas milage. But Honestly the Terminator is the best choice. 390 hp and tq.

turbos see ok mpg

GT Ninja · May 14th, 2008, 11:28 PM

4.6 intake requires adapter plates on a 5.4 block because of the taller deck height, the heads are spread further apart and the intake runners won't line up with out the adapters or a full custom intake manifold.

ya now that i think of it a TT DOHC 5.4 would be the most bad ass of the choices, buty also the most expensive. I dont think hood clearance would be much of an issue either

yea it would but ive seen very few but ive seen a single turbo one but wasnt impressed at all since a gto and supercharged stang kicked his ass on less boost
