is the 5.4 liter eng. enough motor for an f-250 crew with 4x4?

 

Nope.

 

It can be enough but you may have to Doctor it up a little.

K&N FIPK

Flowmaster Exhaust

Nitrous?

It is If you plan on using your F-250 as a family vehicle, with minimal towing.

 

If you're not towing and you don't mind being second in stoplight races, it's plenty. Otherwise get the V10 or Powerstroke.

 

It could be adaquate but, not if you go around calling yourself 'tubby'.

 

I wouldn't do it. In fact, you may have a hard time finding one in that configuration. V-10 all the way.

 

thanks for the input, my brother-in-law has been looking hard so i thought i would help him. when i found that this combo rarely exists i'm thinking there is a good reason "not enough power". BTW tubby is kind of a sarcastic nickname LOL

 

Question for everyone...

My older bro just got the above. Brand new, and it's loaded. Reason is, they plan to have kids soon so blah blah.

Quesiton is, what kind of mods are available for that motor? Does anyone make a fipk?

 

5.4:250 as 4.2:150 i.e., It'll be adequate but don't expect to win any races.

 

POWERSTROKE!!!!!


i know k&n makes an fipk for the 5.4 f-250

 

hey, Tubby!

What part of SC you in?

5.4 would be ok , but in that truck you need the powerstroke. V-10 mileage would suck too bad.

 

Regarding the V10, I spoke with a Ford engineer at the 2002 vehicle car show in Anaheim last week and he said the V10's are state of the art engines and will have at least the same, if not better fuel economy over the 5.4's.

 

But the mileage wouldn't be as good as the PSD . . . that being said, the V10 wouldn't be as noisy or stinky either . . . all comes down to preference. I'd be tempted to take the mileage.

 

At 22.67mpg and 350hp and 750lb, I prefer the diesel....
