anybody know if gt 500 rods and pistons will work with an 04 5.4L 3v triton motor?

 

I think they will, but don't hold me to it...

 

the rods and pistons in the 5.4 NA triton are forged correct? the 2009 Engine I know has 9.8:1 compression, where the supercharged trucks have 8.4:1 ratio, the same ratio as the Mustang 5.4 4V engine in the GT500.

Unless you are aiming for lower compression (8.4:1)for a supercharger or turbo application, why are you thinking about GT500 parts?

there might be some difference in the tops of the pistons because the GT500 is 4 valves, where ours are 3. I have never seen a 5.4 triton piston so I don't know if they are machined for valve clearance.

 

not sure if the 5.4 are forged or not. i have a mustang that im putting the triton motor in. down the road i will be supercharging it so i just figured id build it up now so later it will handle the power.

 

The heads are different because the GT500's have 4-valve heads and different compression. Just do a search for the stroke length of both motors
