Nitroused 5.4 Is DONE! Many Pics Inside! Got 1 Question NEED answer Now!

[Drew1287]

Well Like the title says, I got it in the car and running! The only part I am waiting on is a throttle cable, the 99 cobra one is way to short. I wanna go idle it around the block, but I never had a cobra before so I am not familier with the colling system. I got the thermostat housing and hoses, but cant find any pics or documention on where they go. PLEASE post a pic of the setup, I REALLY wanna go drive it tonight! Heres a Bunch of pics, the first is the thermostat housing I am talking about!

I used My GT fuel rails so I could stay return style and they fit perfect after welding on some brackets, the rear crossover line cleared fine, the front I welded shut and drilled and tapped for a front crossover.

This is the old Motor and left over parts from the swap.

OK HERE SHE IS!

I see a time for turbo and a time for nitrous, why don't you hook em both up and go for it?

 

[Drew1287]

Its almost a 10:1 compression motor, definetly not a time for a turbo!

 

[streetstang03]

where did u get the 5.4?? is it a navigator motor??

 

[Drew1287]

yea its completely rebuilt navigator motor.

 

[tomustang]

you put the hood on yet? looks like you need a cowl hood.

 

[Drew1287]

It sits 4.5 inchs above the hood line because of the reichard racing adapter plates, but at least it has a reason for needing a cowl.

 

[madmatt]

Can we say 11's? That looks amazing man. Im sure it will run like a beast with the torque of that 5.4 and the DOHC setup. Hope you get her running soon.

[Marks5.0!]

edit: its pouring down rain right now and the car is sitting outside, if it lets up ill try to get out there and snap a pic of the setup

Is that an old Navi motor? Gotta get rid of that "4.6L" sticker on the radiator now

 

[lopey4.6]

Nice work. Where did you find the motor? And how long has that taken you to do? Again, Nice work

 

[tangerine]

that is tight. What all is done to the motor. how hard was the install. you get prop in my book. 5.4 and dohc you got the best of both worlds.

 

[sacstoy02gt]

That's sweet!!! Can't wait to see some numbers on that beast!

 

[Drew1287]

I bought the motor for 60$ from a drunk mechanic and completely rebuilt it. Its all stock inside, but has the factory forged crank. I am using reichard racing intake adapters and she is a tight fit. Everything fit fine, its all just alot tighter, pretty much just bolted in.
