5.4L 2V upgrade?
 
Hi All,

Needs some ideas whats best upgrade/replacement you recommend for my 97 F150 with a current 5.4l 2v 194,000 original engine. Nothing wrong with it but I want to get some HP out of with without changing the trans and rear-end. There used to be a company called Paschal Performance that had 6.2L 2v dropins but they are no longer around. I would be happy with 150HP-300HP increase, looking to start running on track course in VA in the next couple years.

How much money do you want to spend?

Do you have a E4OD or a 4R70W?

a PI 5.4 would be a start, but you’re going to need boost for a 300 horse gain on a two valve...

If it's a 4R70W, that can't handle a boosted 5.4 very well. If it's a E4OD, what about a Lightning swap?

My little V6 puts out some 365 hp and 420 tq so that's what I did, but had to trade the 97 F150 5.4 in on it.... ;)

Nice truck you have there, so yes, if you want to keep it, but change it's power, what is your budget?

Doing a 5.0 Coyote swap would be pretty cool! Patman is doing that with his truck and it's been a great project, but I'm sure it's a long process and gonna take some $$

Good luck!

I'd be open to a lightning swap if it comes with everything I need and a low mileage motor.

my budget is up in the air still, just trying to compile best ideas.
