Your thoughts on..........
Are there any other ford motors that would fit in the expedition.
I have an 06 XLT Expy for daily driver and am thinking of getting a 98/99 expy and do a build up. I would want to go for muscle with this engine and tranny. I know that the expy weighs alot and yada yada yada. But if you can get enough power anything can be made to move, and move quickly.
I was thinking of a 5.0 from the great mustang years of the late 80's early 90's.
Any ideas

I don't know the first thing about the compatibility between a 5.4L and 5.0L, but would think a lot of fabrication would be needed to get the 5.0L (and tranny) to fit and function correctly. Why not stay with the 5.4L and build it up?

I would have to agree with staying with a mod motor. (5.4L) Possibly a 4V from a Navigator with a supercharger or it would interesting to see someone transplant a 03/04 cobra motor into an Expy.

Heck, keep the 2v 5.4. A cam swap, headers, head work and tuning will make a potent combo. You could also throw a blower on it.

32V heads and a Whipple on a 5.4 would be a great combo.
I know someone with this combo (Mike's truck, madenterprise.com)...a decent-but-not-great tune got him 620hp, 606 lb-ft to the wheels, at only 15psi.
There's still a bit on the table with a better tune.

the power stroke would be a major chore. i don't even thik it's worth it. i'm not saying don't do it but do the ends justify it? major suspension work, frame work trans transfercase, axles, suspension.
