Thanks...... thats another story. Just another project I have. Its basically a decent track only roller with just a stock 5.0 for now so its driveable. I have big plans for it but my truck is costing me an arm and a leg so the stang is gonna be awhile.

i did not for the life of me think that they made the f250 screws with the 5.4 but i guess anything is possible. im pretty sure they make the quad cab dodge rams with the 3.7L v6 what a nightmare.




motor looks good, good build. cant wait to see it and especially hear it

Thanks guys, I cant wait either.

1 question for now.
On the pasenger side of the intake manifold there is a plug, I guess its the inlet temp charge sensor (or something like that), what plugs in there? I have no plug on my factory harness that is even close pluggin in there.

Well heres another
Also my original maf has the IAT built in with the 8 pin plug, from my understanding I just cut the 2 extra wires from the original plug and wire them to a IAT pigtail and use the seperate sensor in the intake tube for the lightning maf and air intake right?

Someone told me that the 2 extra wires from the maf should go to the intake charge temp sensor that I mentioned earlier. But that doesnt seem right to me.

Oh and there is one plug that isnt plugged in to anything. On the N/A intake manifold it was directly in the front kind of close to the thermostat housing. I figure that was the intake temp sensor and I was just gonna extend it to go to that intake charge sensor on the lightning intake but the plug is diff. Does this sound confusing? I think I need pics of how all this routes.

Vacuum lines are a diff nightmare that i'm battling too.... I think the superduty 5.4s have a diff vacuum route than the F150s.

Thanks.
