Yes............... Another lightning swap!!!
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.
Thanks

Get my motor back on thursday. I cant wait to finally tear this thing apart and do this already. Been taking my time just to make sure everything goes together as smooth as possible. I'll post pics after I get the motor.
Ok....... Started this swap at 7 pm on fri and worked till 2 am saturday. Heres the process. Pretty much just got the old motor pulled.
****ty iPhone pics BTW sorry.









Started back up on sat around 11 am and worked till 3:30 am sunday. Put most the accessories on the new motor then put it in the truck.







Started sunday around 12 pm and worked till 12 am monday morning. Today I just buttond up all the loose ends. Hooked everything up and started putting the truck back together. Its so close. Waiting on a new water pump though and it wont be here till tues.

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.
