5.4 DOHC going in Expy this weekend...
Hello all , another 5.4 swap in progress!
I found a deal on a complete 04 navi motor and am swapping the 4.6 out of my 02 Expy this weekend.
The Navi motor has NO oil in it, my question is once I have swapped the engine , how do I get the oil pressure up when first cranking it without damaging anything ?

I have a Procharger D1SC on the 4.6 thats going onto the 5.4 at 12lbs, just installed 60lb Siemens injectors and will be using a Vortech aftercooler from a 97 Cobra (fits perfect!) . The motor has not run in a while and I have it on an engine stand, so flipping it upside down and back again with the oil pan off (just put on a new 5.4 f-150 pan on) all the oil is out of the engine.

That's going to be one fun brick to drive once everything is said and done!

If you are filling the motor for the first time, fill the oil filter and put it on the motor, also, take the valve covers off and put oil on all the valves and cams etc. This way when you crank it over the head shouldnt be to dry and the motor will instantly suck up oil from the filter. Other then that you should be ok I'd believe.
