lookin good! but the shaker sticks way too far out of the hood imo.

moneygreenstang · August 3rd, 2010, 12:02 PM

the deck height of the 5.4 is almost 1.5 inches taller than a 4.6 so thats as low as itll go

Till · August 3rd, 2010, 12:02 PM

yes it sticks out to far and engine pics!!!

moneygreenstang · August 3rd, 2010, 12:14 PM

Ill take some engine pics in a few

Jordan Hall - The Mustang - TwitVid heres a little patch I put down in the park

You can see how it really squats down nice in the back

yeah, i can totally understand that. still sticks out to far though.

There is a Mach clone that is a vert running around here and I love it... As for your issue with the shaker sticking out to far, rather than lowering it, why not try to fabricate a rubber grommet to atleast cover the lower stuff up? I think that would cure alot of the appearance issue with it sticking up to far.

Fuck it! Leave the Shaker as it is. I like it! Better then a hood cuout or a 8" cowl.

Engine pics please!

I agree with both of these. That shaker does stick up way too high, but at least it's better than cutting a damn whole in the hood and just leaving it. I've seen this on a few Mustangs, even nice ones, and it looks like trash. Just cutting a whole in the hood??? Sounds like something you would see on a trashed out Honda or third gen Camaro.

So yeah, I like the idea you got going with the shaker, and it is something you don't see everyday, but I'd have to find a way to lower that motor.

some under hood shots with the JLT and 75mm TB

I think you should try to find a new shaker with larger opening.

Ace417 · August 12th, 2010, 12:46 PM

cant see at work. sad

KV007 · August 12th, 2010, 05:10 PM

dude love the shaker, looks fine on there man

JakeM · August 12th, 2010, 05:44 PM

I think I like it. If it's a Lightning bottom end, why no forced induction? M90 or M119 should be fairly cheap and easy to setup on that bastard.

MeMz · August 12th, 2010, 05:57 PM

Arent you missing a band clamp? Where the tubing is connecting to the elbow on your cai?

MeMz · August 12th, 2010, 05:58 PM

Also dont see a supercharger so the 5.4 came from a 5.4 triton series f150 right?

KV007 · August 12th, 2010, 10:53 PM

lightning 5.4 supercharged stock man

MATT02GT · August 13th, 2010, 06:06 AM

Cool ride man, but Im with these guys on the shaker...I think a nice cowl hood would really sex that car up... Although I do like all the "wheres the blower" confusion lol What kinda of #'s are you getting with that 5.4?

moneygreenstang · August 13th, 2010, 10:14 AM

its an f150 long block a lightning block has lower compression and wouldn't make good power N/A

I plan on gettinging a MMR long block 12:1 compression, Ported trickflow heads, modular head shop custom cams, and a ported HPS intake manifold. That would put me over 400hp N/A, but for the near future i'm going to add an Aluminum driveshaft and underdrive pullies and shoot for a 12.5 @ 110mph. Trying to go as fast as I can on a stock 5.4 long block with bolt ons and power should be anywhere from 270-290 Hp and 320-340 tq as it sits right now. Itll be going to Big Shot dyno in Ohio after I send a few more datalogs back to trick tuners so i can see what it makes.

i got the band clamp on yesterday that was in the middle of installing the JLT. I am going to buy some T bolt clamps sometime this week.

The mach hood has enough cowl right around the plenum area and allows for a lot of the heat to escape and keeps a semi stock look
Thanks for the compliments
