How do you find this stuff???

Forged Crank and Shatty rods?

If I had nothing better to do with my money I would order one just to see what the deal is.

:fyi: Decent rods add 4-500.00 and SHM wanted how much?

does the blower work on that intake or does it have to go custom.

I would be careful of DSS's Modular Motors. They have been around for years, making some killer pushrods, but they haven't had the best of reps in the Modular market. Just some info...

I don't beleive any 4 valve 5.4 can have a stock L blower without at least a custom intake.

Anyone who swapped a four valve in there L,would probably opt for a bigger and more effecient blower than the eaton.

There might already be a aftermarket blower made for navigators that would work with the stock compression of these motors...i am too lazy to check:D

I have at least the cost of this motor into pistons ,rods,balancing,studs,valves,valvesprings ect,and i pulled my own motor.

Had this deal been available then,i may have sold my motor,complete with m112,took the money i spent on rebuiding the 2 valve and had one of these,complete with rods,custom intake and aftermarket blower......there is the compression issue,but again i am too lazy,and have too much money into my 2 valve to check on that also.:D

heh, just two left and the price seems to have jumped 800 bucks (20 percent increase) i guess i'll just wait for something else :smoke:

sporkdevil Nov 28, 2002 12:49 AM

hmm, two different stories. link took me to 4500 bucks and Web Specials says 3700 bucks. i hate confusing websites.

Navigator motors do not use Cobra heads either.

Yes,i know,but look how long it took someone to notice.....must be too many "Do your goldfish ride in your L" threads :p
It took 15-20 minutes for someone to notice on the NLOC board:p

Anyway,happy turkey day and if you are a lions or cowboys fan....do this a lot:beers:as you will need it.

Fast Gator Nov 28, 2002 11:31 AM

My exact question too! I guess people ass u me that any 4 valve head is a cobra :beers:

Yeah buddy, football, brews, turkey and a four day weekend
Life just can't get any better:beers:

Gator don't forget to add cold air and dry pavement to that thankful list.

What do you mean by that?
Is the design different?
I know the cams are different.
Are there any threads anywhere talking about the differences between the two?

Kar Kraft has the Navi crate engine for $3700.

You will need a lower intake plate to add an Eaton or similar blower. Sean Hyland is supposed to have one coming out.
