There is a lot more to making this swap work than you can imagine. I'll start with the trans, swapping in a 5r and everything to make it work is extremely difficult. There is another auto that will physically bolt up, but it was never in an F150 or behind a 4.5, and then your looking at running a PCS to control it, someone that can program it to work correctly, and the $ to buy it. Add that to finding and actually having a donor truck. Big$!
He has the donor truck for the motor. And he said he has the programming already worked out....

I have, and also seen his underhood pics of his Rousch supercharger that are stolen pics of 2 different Whipple supercharged trucks in the Oct TOTM thread. His donor truck is in a junkyard in New York, there is a link on the first page by another forum member you can call and verify the status of the donor if you like. I would love to be wrong, and would love to see a build like this happen, but unfortunately most everything else he says doesn't make sense, ie medium duty trucks are obd2, no such thing as converting from "round plug", 10.75 rear end in his F150, factory lockers, his 2011 FX4/FXT F150, etc.. Probably some young kid trying to be cool, but an imaginary build is a little much. Look up previous posts and draw your own conclusions. My post was for you and anyone else to be aware, a swap like this is mucho$, and even more work, to the point where any realistic person can tell you with certainty it is not reasonable, and there are realistic alternatives. Please prove me wrong, I would humbly accept it, REAL pictures are worth a thousand words. Supposing the op would decide to actually put a 200hp/440tq 4.5 in an F150, I would gladly walk him through every piece, but it is big$$$$$$!

Actually ya I have to drive 45 miles one way to the dealer! I live in a 700 person town! Just because I don't know where to get something doesn't mean it's bad to ask! If I don't know I will totally as with out a problem! And the dealership I work at is actually fairly big and we do a lot of the camper totter trucks all the time as well as the large city the dealer is located in! Please if you don't know me and where I'm from don't judge me! I know what who I am and what I can do so that's all that matter! Have a nice day
