Has anyone ever seen this combo? Im just curious as to whether or not anyone has ever fabbed up some headers for a setup like this? I talked with hellion but they dont do any one off stuff anymore I was told. After yesterdays results im comfortably at the limit of my shortblock so its time to start researching the next setup lol The next setup will be 4v and will have hairdryer(s)...Im unsure of whether or not to make the leap in to the taller deck 5.4 or just go for a 5.0 stoker? I have heard that rod angles and sideloading are an issue with the 5.0 strokers but I dont know how much validity there is to that :dunno The ultimate would be to start with the '13 5.8 block and go from there but I doubt that'll happen. No doubt this will be a high buck build over a longgg period of time I just want to start putting together a build sheet. I want to build a street pounder once and once only and not do **** two and three times just because I couldnt wait to do it. As long as my current shortblock doesnt scatter then I have no trouble dragging this out over 5+ years to get what I want...im lookin for 1000 rwhp on 93...period.
5.4 4v with twins?

the GT heads are a good choice but then you are limited on intakes. You can get an upper for a gt500 lower manifold or go with a fr500c intake. As far as the followers, the oem followers are just fine for this, money can be better spent elsewhere. This would be a good read for you if you are serious about doing this.

I believe na svt was using the Boss 302 and even the 5.0 stock intake to work with a Navi motor. It looked like it lined up pretty well.

Ah yes! I've been following that thread also, but last time I checked, it hadn't been successfully accomplished yet. Just a matter of time I believe, and that would be super cheap, comparitively speaking!
Not to get too far off topic Wicked, but I've followed your project as well, and I have to say I really admire your ambition and determination. I mean working in such cramped corners in freezing temps! Holy Crap! And screw all the haters who say it would've been cheaper to do this or that! It's art, after all, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

as far as physically fitting it Im not worried. Its the added cost of a custom kit that I have a problem with. If I can reach my goal for a little less coin then why not? By no stretch of the imagination do I plan on skimping on quality parts![/B]
The custom work involved to make a 5.4 fit in our cars isn't really that large of an issue imo. I mean, the op's already going to be swapping his k for a tubular piece in order to accomodate the twins (or a single for that matter), so it's really not going to be that difficult to add some k spacers to make more room for the taller deck. These things have been done beforeThe bigger problem I see is finding a "reasonalbly priced" and "effective" intake manifold. Lets be honest here, either way, 1000 rwhp is going to require BIG bucks! Like the discussion!
I will definitely give that a read...Thanks! Has anyone on here actually used the jesel followers?
so youre saying the intake off of a coyote 5.0 has the potential to work on GT heads?

With a little modification, yes. But that was not the main focus of the project, that was the Boss 302 intake.
Yup. The Coyote intake was more of an afterthought. The Boss 302 was the main objective. The Coyote isn't too friendly since it has a fairly small plenum and longer runners. The Boss 302 has shorter runners and a large plenum. Plus it should actually clear an alternator.
So a Boss 302 intake manifold should work pretty well with slight modification.
Of course if I was going balls out to make a 5.4 4v TT I'd go with a custom setup.

Take a look at Zzz Zzz's custom intake. I really like the design behind his. It's a modified Cobra (I forget what year) with a set of custom tuned velocity stacks on it, and reconfigured for front TB. Plus his is a 4.6 4v TT, so it would be a good starting point to reference.

Yes he is. You will drool over his build.
Go check it out in the projects section.
I also think his build made it onto Jalopnik or some other publication.

after reading the article I think an FR500 intake is in order (thats if I can find one when the time comes) lol so now that we have the intake out of the way, lets talke transmission. I want to do a t56. Just how deep do I need to go on a t56 to handle this level of power? What can I use for a clutch setup? I like what the linked to builds used but I want to hear you guys suggestions lol

The rails might not work with the fr500 intake but what do you guys think of this for a fuel system with probably 120lb injectors and abviously a sumped tank? The only thing I noticed is that it doesnt mention anyhing about the frps/fpdm etc. or having a boost referenced regulator. I would like to stay with the stock wiring harness for the most part and still run a stock computer. I dont want to get in to a FAST stand alone setup or the like.

I know many people will tell you to just piece one together, but since I just bought one of their 2 pump systems and the kit quality is fantastic, I figure I might as well plug them:
