has anyone done this and put a bigger block in?

like 460 short block?

how hard can it be to put one in?



srry for all the annoying questions but im seriously thinking about this


460 cobra jet

supercharger is 6500 chromed out ....not installed

cobra jet with almost all i need without headers, wiring and carb. is under 5400$ shipped..

can my truck even handle this kinda power?

 

another question to anyone that knows

will i be able to bolt that up to my existing tranny or will i need to look for a new one also?

 

Nothing under your hood will work, trans etc. All of your mounts would need to be custom made. None of your factory electroncs has a chance of working. Also, forget about passing any emissions test. If you want a 428CJ in a truck find an old truck and have fun.

the thing im wondering is if us guys will be able to swap out our engines for the new diesel thats coming....

 

Anything is possible. . BUT, you'd be rebuilding the whole entire truck which is going to put you four times the cost of the supercharger.

 

i talked to the dealership about the diesel, they say ford might scrap that idea!

 

they might not need the deisel if the new 6.2 puts out enough

 

You guys it's all speculation. Honestly nobody really knows anything about the 6.2. I've been talking to engine builders lately and nobody knows how Ford is going to do a 6.2 in our engine bay or even a redesigned one.

The problem is the OHC technology Ford went with years ago thinking it'd be more fuel efficient then what Chevy was going to do. Well now Chevy and GM has found you can run these engines at such low RPMs on the highway and also do cylinder deactivation to make up for fuel mileage.

OHC takes a ton of extra room in the engine bay and it's going to be interesting to see how they're going to fit a 6.2 OHC anywhere. Much less if they'll forge a new block for it. I'm betting they're going to have to use the 5.4 3V block we have.

We have to face the fact that our F150s lead in a lot of categories and are great trucks...but they'll never lead in terms of HP or power in stock trim. The OHC just will not put out as much. Not only that as Ford is neck deep in OHC engine technology (even getting eventful enough to put in a 3rdV and 4thV); there is no way they'll drop it for other ventures, especially since they're over their head in debt.

Not Ford bashing here, just stating facts.

lol, oh about that the 6.2 isnt gonna be released...........wont pass emissions...

 

I would probably go with a long block...the 460s seem to respond well to a set of heads and intake.

 

LOL, I thought the same thing.

 

Could you pull the heads of the Shelby GT 500 5.4 and put in on our 5.4's what all is different to where it puts out 200 more horses?

 

"DOHC vs SOHC" "4V vs 3V" and "naturaly aspirated vs Super Charged"...thats where most of the 200 extra HP come from. Other things that help would be better exhaust, more aggresive tune, more performance minded cam profiles....and so on. I am supprised its only 200 HP more.

As for just pulling the heads off one and slapping them on your 3v motor...well you would need A LOT more than just the head gaskets for sure.

 

a v10 will bolt in. snd will fit the trans. you will need the computor and engine harness from a donor truck and maybe the exhaust "y" pipe.

 

why not buy a cam from comp. they make them for our trucks! much cheaper alternative. the only swap i would consider would be the 4v from the navigators but they are older, or maybe if i could find a wrecked ford gt.
