Default My '03-'04 ford...with a turbo on the way

1FTPW12544KB30014. Another member suggests I post this here. Apparently my truck body and engine are not supposed to be together.

I never said that, I said I have never seen it. Your Etis report shows it to be accurate.

03 F150, Oct 13th 2003 build date with a 5.4 3 valve in it. I have never seen it is all.

It was a loose translation of what I understood. I can build a long block but don't internet well.

Well, post a photo of said truck. I too have never seen a 2003 with a 5.4 3v new body style.

That is an 04, 11th gen model pickup. Build date may be from late 03 but that is not a 10th gen model.

How does the 3 valve compare to other Tritons when being boosted? Do I have the crappy connecting rods like a lot of the other modular motors?

Not sure what you're referring to with "crappy connecting rods"... the 3v 5.4 has its issues (timing components....), but from what others have done to their trucks here they'll handle 500hp without connecting rod issues.
