My V6 -> 5.4 Swap.

[GrnBullitt08]

Congrats on getting her running

That's a damn nice feeling to finish a big project like that and it be successful! Congrats, but the modding has just begun...haha

The manifold isn't crooked, it must be the iphone camera distortion.

So after 3 days of driving her around, shes already starting to feel kinda slow.

Ran a friend of mine last night, he has an 06 GT with a CAI, long tubes, o/r x, and a few other bolt ons with a custom tune and we were neck and neck and I had a passenger.

So pretty much a 5.4 with stock intake, exhaust, and tune is about on par with a bolt on tuned GT.

This weekend i'm putting my nitrous kit back on the car, and starting with a 100 shot. Then cams and eventually twin 52s or something. I wanted a billet 67 just for insta-spool but everyone at the shop talked me into twins on the 5.4

Lol. You now have a nice base to build upon

Hell yea!

A very minor bolt-on 5.4 will make about the same as a full bolt on, supercharged V6.

I want to do a diesel swap some day.....nothing better than pouring the coal!

sure somewhere someone has done it , diesel's are fast when in something light, check out youtube. seen a diesel dragster on there.

I saw a cummins swapped sn95 at the Texas mile. But I wanna see an s197 with a smoke tune

Enjoy your new car.

twin turbos call to you, twin 66mm t3/t4's hidden down by the transmission! yeah you can keep your custom fab sheet intake :!

 

[Rygen]

Very impressive, congrats on the swap.

AWESOME JOB !!! i think once you've got the 5.4 fine tuned and a good CAI you'll find some decent power no doubt now that stock filter gizmo is killing that 5.4
heck you've even got stock manifolds don't you...thats more power right there.
i'll have to say you were on a mission.
nice to see another 5.4 swap successfully done.
good luck and congrats!

 

[Kuro!]

Thanks man! I'm daily driving the 5.4 now and she seems great. Everyone and a while she'll throw a lean code on banks 1 and 2, but she seems to be running great.

CAI, FRPP cams, and a 150 shot and i'll call it a day until i'm out of college.

gratz dude, I bet that was an awesome feeling hearing that engine alive!

Heres a short video I made with my iphone.

I give her about half throttle and it just starts spinning, and with the lightweight flywheel she revs pretty damn quick.

[Blxcklist]

Thats a beast!

 

[Racingtheburg]

You have a good amount of power still to go. I wouldnt hit it with the juice as that thing NA would ride out pretty good I would find traction first lol. But it's your car and you have done a great job with it. What is the code number?

 

[Fallenauthority]

hehe, "yea pretty much"
Looks like it will be a lot of fun.
