That wouldn't be bad either. Best bet would be erepairables.com
Or something like that

As always, blown 2v is the easy way out. Although I don't think it's a very efficient combo, it's solid guaranteed Hp for your money and there's No fab work needed.

I just wish there were a Yote kit made for the 5.4 that was plug and play. They've got a somewhat kit for the 4.6 Mustang conversions but it's far from Plug & play yet.

It really seams like aftermarket conversions have really taken a back seat in the last decade. Everyone just wants to buy new and get rid of the old instead of developing kits for the old.

But there's really no point when it makes as much power stock n/a as the Lightning engine. Really you just need a tune and you have reliable power that still gets decent mileage.

yeah seriously. developing kits for the old would be great.

but who likes simple anyways? haha.

a coyote would bolt in, but you would have electronics to fool with to get it running and running right.
