I've seen a few trucks with the GT-Supercar engine in them and they run fast but for me I'll stick with a procharged 5.4 stroked to 6.2

Arg, I recently found out that an LS7 isn't able to fit inside any Ford. So I did some more researching and I found this at jegs.com.

Think it's a good pick for it's price?

And why not just go to the Ford Racing website and look at their crate engines? I would trust a Ford 427 over a remake....

I already have. So I assume that ANY crate engine thatis build for ford will fit in any model? For example: I take a GT500 and it would fit in my F-150?
edit: A GT500 engine, not the car.

Kinda. You will have to mod the engine compartment accordingly. A GT500 will fit, since it is basically the 5.4 with different tuning, etc. You will have to re-arrange the engine mounts and what not, but essentially, it will fit.

You could save a ton of money going with a similar setup as I have and have no problem running a 6 or 7 1/8.
Hell,,,I run 7s in my Supercrew in the 1/8!

I was actually looking to get a Turbo rather than a Supercharger. I'll ask my brother about the distance he was talking about when he said that truck ran 7's/6's. Also, I was thinking about replacing te engine with something not quite as stock. I've heard good things about an LS7 engine.
spyder turbos can hook you up for around $4200
