supercharging a 5.4 2V ?
Not looking to go power crazy. Just looking for better pulling power for my 99 250 SD. thinking about R&R engine/tranny w/new Ford remanufactured engine w/3/yr warranty & local rebuilt tranny. Say maybe 8psi max. Has anyone done it? If so, I'm interested type SC used & final outcome. Thanks.

Do keep in mind that the OP has a 2V engine. You have a 3V engine. Very different animals when you start discussing tuners.

All kinds of info on this, just do a google search for:
supercharging / turbocharging a 5.4L 2v ford motor
Although IMO, it would probably just be cheaper to buy a truck with a bigger engine, if you're looking for a bump in HP and torque.

This may be easier ... Ford F-250 5.4L Turbo Upgrade | DrivingLine
Unless you can get the lower intake for a lightning or Harley Davidson f150 everything else you would need to do different brackets or plumbing for the intake. This has been done and is easier if you can get all the parts. Just have to change a pulley to get desired boost.
Either way your looking at $5k plus, You should also consider replacing the bottom end to forged internals while your at it. 5.4 Pro Modular IRON Short Block

. Op P.I. heads and gears 4.30's with stock size tires would be a very good option for you before going the forced induction route.
