Dropping A 5.4 In

built54 · October 6th, 2006, 12:24 AM

I have a bud with a 2000 v6 stang, just the basic question, will the engine fit/bolt in the stock engine mounts?

AtlanticBlue99 · October 6th, 2006, 12:26 AM

i saw in MM&FF where someone did the swap, and it did not fit in the stock motor mounts, and i believe he had to move the firewall back and get a 4" or 6" cowl hood. not sure on the specs exactly for the build, but i remember coming across something like that in MM&FF

hmm... id like more info on this, im sure it will take a lot of fabrication

The fire wall was not moved far as I know but custom mounts had to be made.

BTW the motor of choice came out of a navigator.

Most people that get a 5.4 get them out of a navigator...

The swap can be done jsut takes some work...But it would pay off nicely in the end...

built54 · October 6th, 2006, 10:46 AM

Yeah, well the engine we are going to use is a built sohc, not dohc like from a navigator. so it should have a little more room. Thanks for the help

ChrisJ · October 6th, 2006, 11:46 AM

you should have bought a dodge then

built54 · October 7th, 2006, 10:53 AM

a blown 5.4 would STOMP that hemi!

ChrisJ · October 7th, 2006, 10:55 AM

Well take pics on your build and keep us informed...

I might be doing a similiar swap in the coming years...

I will take pics, and of coarse, do a video when done! I am taking the engine out of my truck to swap in a fully built 5.4, 600hp at the crank with no nitrous. The engine in there now has 325 at the crank. It should make the mustang run pretty good, for being n/a

99mustang232 · October 7th, 2006, 03:11 PM

was thinking the other day about a turbo 5.4 sohc, it will work you can squeeze a v10 truck block in there

built54 · October 7th, 2006, 05:02 PM

that would be nice, a v10 turbo'd

ChrisJ · October 8th, 2006, 02:10 AM

I have heard of people squeezing the V10 in a mustang...
