ok so heres the deal, i have a 97' f150 with the 4.6 4x4. basically i want more power because i love my ford. i was thinking swapin the 4.6 for a 5.4. i was wondering if any 5.4 would fit. i dont to do much mods but if i had to i would. also i was wondering if a lightning 5.4 supercharged engine would fit. also need some price estimates on a 5.4 engine. PLZ HELP!!

 

For the price of all the stuff you'll be doing, you could just buy a used lightning.

Don't discourage him!!!

 

maybe i should have stated "ways to do it and some ways not to do it"

 

i think a stick needs to be posted. the title of the sticky should read, "IF YOU ARE EVEN REMOTELY CONSIDERING AN ENGINE SWAP, READ THIS POST" then maybe we would see less of these titles.

 

Yeah. I have seen really nice lightnings go for under $10,000.

 

yah ill just look at lightning trucks, i wanted to just get somthing fast i guess just getting a used truck would be better. thanks
