What is better for the Street? 4.6 DOHC, 4.6 DOHC SC or 5.4 Lightning SC

Steele6599 · May 13th, 2008, 02:39 PM

All, Im still looking at alternatives to the V10 swap i talked about earlier... Now if I was looking for fun street factor daily driver what would you do?

What is the best bang for the buck...

BTW, Im kinda swaying towards the Lightning 5.4L SC engine...

So choices are:
5.4L Lightning
4.6 DOHC from Cobra 2001
4.6 Terminator a bit more expensive

Also if this has already been discussed please direct me to the thread...

thanks,
Markus

i'd just get a blower for your 2v.

weems · May 13th, 2008, 02:46 PM

lightning. not many have done it and its pretty badass. i just hope you dont mind an intake manifold sitting out of your hood.

HBK_2007 · May 13th, 2008, 03:32 PM

a blown DOHC 5.4?

B0B · May 13th, 2008, 03:35 PM

lightnings are 2v right? and yeah that would be a good engine but you will need a new hood thats for sure

hardhitter · May 13th, 2008, 03:50 PM

lightning

Steele6599 · May 13th, 2008, 04:07 PM

I have the Stalker hood would it fit under there?

futureMACH1racer · May 13th, 2008, 04:53 PM

A blown stroked 5.4 4v would be probably one of the baddest engines you could build. That is what I do.

White99stang · May 13th, 2008, 06:12 PM

i since another demello coming on here.

lilmarc1988 · May 13th, 2008, 06:26 PM

naw for some reason i think this guy actually got money to do this

White99stang · May 13th, 2008, 07:28 PM

not me, just seems like another wish list kid.

futureMACH1racer · May 13th, 2008, 07:35 PM

weren't you like that when you were young White99? I'm still younger, and I want alot more than I can afford still.

White99stang · May 13th, 2008, 07:44 PM

yes i did have a wish list, but i didn't post any threads about it. it wasn't worth doing when you don't have the money. And even when i did have the money i knew what i wanted by reading up. Plus so much changes in life so what is point of asking what you should get when you have the money in 2 years and in 2 years something better will be out anyways. Its just funny that this section has become a wish list section. What should i get, what type, how fast will i run, how much power will i make, but i have to actually get a job and save for the next 2 years and then i can buy it lol

futureMACH1racer · May 13th, 2008, 07:50 PM

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I do alot of research myself, but I like to get others opinions, but most of the things that I ask about are things that I'm going to order within the end of the day, or the very next day. For instance I sent AC a pm last week about a clutch. 20 min later I ordered one from AM. I see what your're saying I just don't want to dicoursge these youngins from asking us. I like helping when I can.

drgnracin72 · May 13th, 2008, 08:43 PM

no hood will fit a lightning motor under it with the stock blower

no hood will?? wow.

nba1341 · May 13th, 2008, 08:46 PM

this will

White99stang · May 13th, 2008, 08:49 PM

no it won't, i had that hood on my car, and the one i have now is even bigger. thats only a 4 inch cowl and a 6 inch cowl will not clear a lightning motor. So the NBA is wrong again. Quit putting out bad info

futureMACH1racer · May 13th, 2008, 08:50 PM

I just splooged, that is a BAMF!!! I want to make sweet, sweet love to it.

futureMACH1racer · May 13th, 2008, 08:51 PM
