As the title says i wanna do one cause mone has its age hitting it and just blew a head gasket so time for a swap and my plans are to be a street truck like the lightning but i'm extended cab =D i was thinkin mark 8 motor or maybe mach 1 motor. I've also seen the 2jz and rb26 in 97-03 but any one have any suggetions what i should do?

 

bump theres gottta be some ones input

 

Also what does the 4.6 triton handle on stock internals cause if it can hold 600ish i'll just completely overhaul that motor any one know this answer?

 

do not put a rb26 in a ford!!!! Come on!!!

We are not in japan

but a stock 4.6 can hold, this is what i came to figure out!!! It will only hold around 450ish

but if your going to over haul the motor that will be a chance to up grade some guts!
Stay with the ford 4.6, or hell swap it for the 5.4...
But i would go to a junk yard and find a good motor and rebuild the heck out of it and make it worth wile for half the price...

 

Lol yeah i was puttin out food for thought i'm leaning to the 99 5.4 or the navigator motor but.... i hear its terrible. And my 4.6 will get rebuilt no matter what it'll be going to my s13. Not going to lie this will be my first swap in a ford i'm still learning about the blue oval since i'm coming from the dsm world nissan and honda

 

bump any one know what an average machine shop charges for a bore and hone?

 

The navigator 5.4 isnt the same as the f150 5.4, not until the 2009 model year. my suggestions would be a cobra 4.6. its the 3 valve 4.6, but with some modding and overhauling it should push your rig pretty good. heres a list of what fords have what V8 it them.

hmmmmm ok has any one on here done the swap of something else other than the 5.4 triton?

 

I plan to do a 3 valve 5.4 swap out of a gt500. but im of no help. but im watching this thread hoping to learn a thing or twelve.

 

Lol yeah i'm wingin it for this swap i'm hoping august maybe if not this time next year if i save the way that i am now i'll have 8500 to put in for the swap but.... i need to find that dang motor and a good body shop and paint and how to do a 5 speed swap in this truck
