No - didn't really think you were interested .. I'll take some pics of the tools and show how I did for those interested later on, maybe, if some one else doesn't chime in with the info.. - it's easier..

 

No....I have not read all 190+ pages.

Just got an 05 Scab FX4 w/ 5.4.......it is a rocket ship compared to my old 98 Scab 4x4 w/ 4.6. I love the new truck!!

 

HI!... Here ya go :








O.k, for this job you take your DREMEL and throw it out or give it to a bunch of 4.6 owners to play with. Sorry no flashing lights.

You need a strong high spped drill or even better a electric/air powered die grinder.

You need the following :

- 1/4 shank carbide cutter, cylindrical with a rounded tip

- one 60 grit 3" paddle sanding wheel

- one 80 grit 3" paddle sanding wheel

- one 120 grit 3" paddle sanding wheel

- one 180 grit 3" paddle sanding wheel

- one 200 grit 3" paddle sanding wheel

- one 3" cotton polishing wheel

- aluminum polishing compound

- A lot of time and patience!

 

Thanks Neal, is it easy enough fix a boo-boo if you cut too deep with the cutter?

 

Well, I figured out how to use the sig finally , thanx for all your freakin help - specially you Patrick

 

That looks nice.So i have already cleaned my TB and was going to port and polish but i could not locate all of the 3in wheels.Anyone know where i could find them napa maybe??Also how long do you figure this would take roughly.I also do not expect to make mine as pretty as neils.My truck runs pretty strong now w/ Edge Evo but i want more so i am thinking of this and a AF1 intake.If i port and polish w/ a CAI i should definately feel a diff don't you think??I know i should have already done this jbrew last time i talked about it
jbrew,klitch,neil???

 

Sears hardware has a good assortment

You can use a wire wheel too as a part of the process, you can get little ones for the ports that work well..A red clay bar cuts down on time dramatically when you get to the buffing stage. I'll get out to the shop tomorrow and take some pics .

+1 on the AFI Intake - Good choice..

NO!! The frickin thing didn't come today , I ordered it second day air Friday and was told I would see it today .. That's alright tomorrows good too, I'll be concerned if it isn't here by then ..

 

That sucks!!! Just think after you put it in the 4.6 guys will be in the rear view farther

 

LOL, they would be if anyone in these parts owned one - theres not a market for em around here , the dealerships don't carry them, you would have to special order . People around here have no use for a 4six in a truck.

 

How much would an engine swap cost, from a 4.6 to a 5.4

Just wondering for future references... I just got this truck (06 4.6) a month ago so im going to get my moneys worth with it

 

I would trade it in on a 5.4.That is a lot of work and alot of $$$.just my 2cents.

 

Yea, just everytime i ask about putting 35's on it, they make it sound like the truck is a piece of ****.. but w/e i guess ill just but 33's on it, didnt know 2 inches made a load of difference

 

You could always put gears in it to get the power back.It would be alot cheaper than a motor.
