Yea I've seen the one from BDP, its making like 600 HP, on a 2v, thats also a 2v, though I wanna get the OBS, 97-02 Version and swap out the 4.6L or 5.4L and put the Cobra engine in with a Kenne Bell.

 

kennebell did the same as you are wanting into a '97 F-150, when you get ready for teh swap let me knwo and I will help you with the bolt in piece interchanges, stuff a stroker crank in it (the 5.0 or 5.1) and hang onto your seats

 

Yea I could always get the 5.0 Cammer but its a real expensive motor.

 

not if you do it right, you can take a '03-'04 cobra motor and do basicly the same thing for a lot less

 

Really? Thanks for answering all my noob questions, I was just on modularfords, and saw a company stuff a wet sump Ford GT block inside a lightning, its pretty sick. http://www.modularfords.com/forums/s...d.php?t=121884

 

Just go with the GT500 Supercharged 5.4 liter. It is a 4 valve

 

Is it a direct bolt in? I want it to look almost like factory, I am just hoping the only thing I have to do is tinker with the ECU to communicate properly, I don't wanna have to heck anything up in the engine bay, I wanna be able to match up the harness etc.

I am sure this would be much easier for a 03-Up body style expedition, theres a member on here now doing it with his F-150. he said the only real issue is getting the ecu to communicate.

I have seen a Ford GT wet sump block dropped into a lightning I posted a link of it.

 

5.4 32 valve DOHC Navigator motor with a Procharger or Kennebell...Awesome combo!
I did the swap into my 4.6 Expy, here's my thread with pics....

we all got to start someplace, I was there once myself now look at my trucks

 

I mean I really don't know what route to go to at this point, I want something that will drop in thats plug and play, and the least thing to do is tune the ECU etc. almost like a factory drop in, I mean I could always drop in the Terminator motor, and stroke it to a 5.0 and make it a cammer, but I don't know. But then I saw that Ford GT Aliumnum block. with a wet sump. built up in that lighting but that probably cost a fortune to build. it was pushing close to 800HP.

 

800rwhp isn't much, there's guys doing that on 2 valve trucks, paul or mike palugi (I forget his first name) made 966rwhp on a stock long block '03-'04 cobra

 

This is true, but I don't know.

 

That's the nice thing about a '03-'04 Cobra motor, they come stock from the factory with forged crank, manley forged rods and manley forged pistons

 

exactly, I am just wondering If Id be able to use the 5.4L Wireing harness with the 4.6L if I decided to swap that in.
