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?

 

 

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 have the E40D i belieave

 

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.

 

yup its taken way longer than I anticipated, and life keeps getting in the way of my progress too
