[2002GT]

Hi everyone,, I ve been browsing thro some F-150 Forums looking for some tech info and I deceided to join your forums if thats ok.. I dont have a F-150 But I do drive a 2002 Mustang GT...

Anyways.. I bought a brand new lightning Blower, Intake, Intercooler, ect ect last year for the stang.. My Idea was too machine and port the **** out of the blower then build a CNC'd Lower intake for my 4.6 as a little project..

Well blower is almost done.. The whole back has been machined out with a much larger and lower intake opening, also the charger has been polished..

I made the program for the CNC to make the intake.. I still think I m going to have problems plus I m looking at $400+ just for the block of aluminum..

Well that was fine until the stang started eating oil... I looked for a new 4.6 but then found some 5.4's... I thought quikly "why build an intake for a small 4.6 when I can buy a 5.4 and bolt what I have now onto the car" (saves me money reallylol)..

So I m looking for some back ground on the 5.4's since I ve never really looked into one.

-What kind of boost will they hold? And what kind of HP and torq can the bottem end handle reasonably? I know the 4.6 is maxing out at 450 Crank HP but I figure the 5.4's may be a bit tougher..

-I found a 5.4 out of a 04' F-250 for $650 with 140 thousand.. Is this a good price for the KM's on a PI motor? Is 140 Km"S too high? I will be rebuilding it over the winter with a forged bottom end....

Anyways these are the major questions.. I sure there will be more.. I really think it will be kewl too have a 5.4 superchged in the stang but be the only person that doesnt have too cut the hood lmao...

I'm in ontario canada too if anyones wondering

Thanks Jim
