hey i was just wondering what the best year for the 5.4 2wd was and also what they run in price these days...base model is fine...i am considering either a 5.4 truck or 5.4 mustang for a fun toy to buy after deployment....

 

I would recommend a mid year 03 or any 04 Heratige F150 because of the extra spark plug hole threads.

 

well cant you just tap the treads out a few more turns? i intend on pulling the motor of whatever i build so i can clean it up and do all my stuff with it pulled and it be easier

 

You can add threads, here's kit you will need: http://www.timesert.com/

 

honestly you could tap it, it is a aluminum head i think right?


besides plug blowout....what other disadvantages/advantages are there and shortbed/shortcab trucks with 5.4s run about how much these days...the lighter the better
