    V6 To V8

    I like your idea. Are we talking about a 427 pushrod motor? Or are we talking about a bored out Raptor motor?

    Engine My 5.4 4v Swap

    Thanks a lot man. I was wanting to do the same thing you just talked about. I figured I'd look into bracing that strut tower with tubing then cut away the sheet metal. I wish I could see an example of someone who has already done it. I'm coming up short though on the searches I've done.

    5.4L 4v Navi swap N/A numbers??? any one know!!!

    I would be ALL OVER that 6.2 if it had the 4v head. I worry about the physical size of that engine. It was hard enough trying to squeeze my 5.4 into my Mustang. In all honesty what I learned from my 5.4 swap is that Mod motors are BIG. Ya can't do much to them without pulling the motor...

    Engine My 5.4 4v Swap

    Yes that's correct. I plan to build up the spare Navigator motor I have while using this one to serve daily driver duties. I had originally planned to run a low boost turbocharger on the daily driver, but the lack of room has me reconsidering that. I need to get a K-member to free up space...

    Engine My 5.4 4v Swap

    I need to find a Cobra or Mach 1 driver side exhaust manifold. Some other little things to cover too. I've tried to upload pics here from my phone and my tablet. Neither worked. :-(

    Engine My 5.4 4v Swap

    Right on man. I do have an update. The motor finally went in today. Now it's just a matter of bolting up the transmission and reconnecting everything that came off the original motor.

    Very true. The Chevy guys do have it easy compared to us. In all honesty I'm jealous of the simplicity they get rewarded with. However we get modern technology in the form of dual overhead cams........ Just to catch everyone up on my build, I went with the Navigator motor. It's by far the...

    The Navigator engine is a HELL of an engine. It's far superior to the LS1. unfortunately though it's a HUGE engine that BARELY fits into my Mustang. Plus the cost of 4 cams is WAY higher than buying just 1 cam........ With that said, my Lincoln LS might get a 6.0 swap by this time next year...

    LOL...... I did say that huh. Guilty as charged. :-) We're too far invested into this to quit now. I'll definitely beat him with the Navigator motor, but it'll be a pain in the ass to get it there...... Plus if we're getting technical, the aluminum 5.7 from the Camaro is the LS1. The 5.3...

    Engine My 5.4 4v Swap

    Hi guys. I just wanted to post this as a reference for other users thinking of this swap. First of all the car is a 2000 Mustang GT. It was my daily driver, so when I started noticing engine trouble I started doing extensive research as to which swap I wanted to go with. The motor held on...

    Hi guys. First off, let me say I am still learning these cars, so please go easy on me. I'm torn on which route to go for my power plant. What I do know for certain is I don't want a boosted application, or an LS1 swap. The car is still drivable but the motor is finally giving up after...
