Thanks, great info!

 

who cares? has nothing to do with this thread or a L swap

 

That is correct!

Well with the Monster box 4r70W There is a cheaper alternative. The stock Lightning block can handle about 450rwhp safely and so can a built 4r70w. In my opinion, if you aren't going with a built block don't do the whole swap. If you already have a 5.4 all you need is the upper setup like they sell on ebay all the time. If not you can pick up a low mileage JunkYard 5.4 fairly inexpensive will all you'll need. The little details can be had at Madenterprise.com.

 

What ever happened with jon jons supercharger install that hydrolocked the engine and windowed the block? Did he give up or have someone else finish it. Last I saw he buying a L engine.

 

he bought a new motor from Mike at Madenterprise

 

HI!... RAIDER : You need to learn to read. My name was brought up and FALSE info about me and my truck was posted. I corrected it. Pretty plain and simple........................

 

This is a cool conversion on a F100! Check out!

Hey, I'm also looking at a powertrain swap in my 98 rc/fs 4x4. Does anyone have any links to projects? I stirred up the idea after seeing a damaged L going for 10k.

besides the driver side motor mount, was any other issues?

 

I imagine you would have to swap in the L eec for the proper program. and is it the same 10.25" sterling diffy? have to find a 4.10 8" gears for the front also.

 

Hey Mark, do you have a breakdown for your project? was it the whole drivetrain you swapped?

 

Yes, it is the whole drive train. Well, eventually will be after I switch the rear axle. Converting the transmission to mate with the 4x4 transfer case right now.

So far I have new longer torsion bars,4x4 tranny parts, different transmission mount, relocate oil cooler.......dead tired I'll finish list later.

 

Would'nt it be easier to just supercharge the current motor?

 

Yes, but then I would have a 4.6 engine that is leaking antifreeze with 154000 miles on it with a mazda 5 speed......No Thanks! Besides that I now have an excuse to disappear from the house when the wife starts thinking up projects for me.

 

Can i get a motor from an 02 L motor to pair up with a stock 4wd transmission from a 99 f-150, by reprogramming the ECU or something? The stock Ecu runs the tranny, but not the motor and the opposite with the L ECu.Thanks

 

yes, you can use the F-150 computer, any good tuner can do this.



Not true, the ECU on both the L and F-150 are programmed to run both the motor and the tranny.
