2000 F-150 4X4 maybe i am reading the spec wrong but i thought the weight diff was only 71 pds--lightning curb wt=4670 and my 150 =4741. here you read them at:

mondo1 the holley does have an intercooler. i would have gotten a magnacharger if they didn't.

 

The rods are not really stronger, just more precise and easier to make than a "traditional" conrod. And yes, all the 5.4 liter engines have these rods.

I think a intercooler in the middle of the V of a V8 is a very elegant idea. A leaking one is just shoddy engineering.

I agree, it would be impossible to put together at the price, and then you don't have factory warranty to back you up...

 

How about the transmission on the 4x4? Is that a 4R70? Would it be able to take the torque of a heavily modded engine like that?

It seems like the 4R100 is marginal for the 'Bolt, and the 4x4 we're talking about here would be approaching Lightning power levels.

 

Isn't the naming convention on those trannies supposed to equate to the 70w and 100w being able to handle 700 and 1000 ft lbs of torque respectivley?

yup i think that maybe the weak side of the whole set-up and im sure it is a 4r70 because its a 139(138.8)wheel base and the 4r100 is on the 157(157.4)wheel base supercab 4x4. hope it can hold up, only because i won't be consistantly dragging everything in site(lol). guess i'll find out.

if it is maybe it will be ok--not going to have anything near 700# of torque(at least i don't think i will--lol)

Actually, based on my experience, that 4R100 is built to withstand 100 lb./ft. of torque. That's got to be why Ford put in the power reduction during the 1-2 shift, 'cause without it my truck sure blew out those stock clutches in a hot second.

100 lb./ft. of torque (lol)

 

Actually, I believe the 4r70 is the wide ratio version of the AOD while the 4R100 is the wide ratio version of the E40D. The E4OD is very similar to a C6 with the overdrive and the pan is similarly shaped. I have the E4OD in my F250LD and as I understand in '99 or '00 you couldn't get that trans in the F150. They went back to the smaller 4r70.

When I purchased my truck, one of the criteria for my purchase was that it have the heavier transmission.
