HI!... As many of you already know after over 6 years and 200,000KMS I finally hurt my 5.4. Burned a plug and lost a chunk of exhaust valve on the #'4 cylinder.

https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=201897

Anyway a lot of people have seen my 5.4 build up on other sites and have been e-mailing the crap out of me to post them here so I will. I hope the webmaster doesn't mind. It's good reading.........lol!

Please don't post till I'm done, THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE..... LOL!

 

My other 5.4 is at my engine builders currently. Block is getting ready to be acid washed, sonic tested, magnafluxed, bored/honed (with TQ plates) , deburred, and blueprinted.

Forged steel crank is going to get cryo treated, balancers made areodynamic, lightened, micro polished, chamfered etc...

- Rods are EAGLE "ESP" with ARP bolts
- ARP head studs
- MAHLE forged pistons
- MMR race oil pump with CRYO treated pump gears
- PA SFI approved heavy duty "race" flexplate
- SHM billet trigger wheels
- D.S.S main support girdle with ARP main studs
- Custom deep sump oil pan/pick up tube
- MEZIERE electric water pump
- MICHIGAN 77 tri metal "RACE" bearings
- Brass frost plugs
- Windage tray
- FOX LAKE stage II cylinder head
- CROWER stage II billet cams
- "O" ringed block
- copper head gaskets

It's being built to hold 1000H.P though the goal with the T76 turbo is 650RWH.P.

Here's a few pics of the progress so far :


FOX LAKE stage II heads. Full race CNC port job, FERREA oversized S/S one piece, undercut, sodium filled valves with 3 angle valve job, bronze guides, new retainers, locks, roller followers, CROWER stage II billet cams, 8 thread titanium plug inserts.

Looks like you're building a good strong 5.4 there Neal

I see you're from the Windsor area as well, being kinda new to the area, I'm looking for a good machine shop so may I ask who's doing the work for you
