Gonna be a waiting game no matter what. Arent you still looking for an engine builder? Lol

 

Yep

 

Hey travers auto in Michigan is where I got my navi engine. They have a 2v for 650 obo. They have cheap shipping too. Offer them 650 shipped and I guarantee you'll get it. It's the expulsion engine on eBay. Type in 5.4 engine and it's like 5 down the page. Red expy.

 

Intake gaskets got here quick from ebay. Still waiting on lash adjusters and oil pan studs to show up. Going to soak the rocker arms in oil and reuse them. Nothing wrong with them just want to get all the dirt/dust off.



Anyone know where I can intake manifold bolts? Searched everywhere and cant find them.

 

No idea on that.. Might have to bite the bullet an try to get them from Ford. I do know on the Navi's particularly most of the bolts have completely different lengths. Also make sure you replace the heater feed tube that goes from the back of the water pump to the rubber hose for the heater inlet. it will be cheap insurance to prevent you from having to pull the manifold again.. Its a pita in a stock truck but the body lift will help alot..

 

Thanks, I'll probably shoot them an email about what I'm looking for


Btw carcrazy if I want a complete core identical to mine what years/models will work for a 2003 5.4. Expy's, econolines, Superduty, etc

 

Ok ill check with ford. One more question, this is the heater tube that came off my navi. Should I use the "U" shaped one, or the "S/Z" shaped one that the f150s have.

 

You have to use the u shaped

 

I found a core for the great price of $100.. Just have to go pick it up.. Its a 2v, but i have all the parts for a 4v so..

 

Sooo.... Who knows where i can buy a well built 4r70w? Anyone used lentech or heard about them? My transmission grenaded itself at the track. So much for the shortblock funds haha.
