Another 5.4 difference question
So as not to highjack the post below, I have another 5.4 question.
I came across what was to be, a good running short block 5.4 from a 2000, F-150 Lightning.
It was in the high 60,000 mile range. Owner has bought a crazy built, 5.4 long block, for more power.
Would this short block work as a starting point in my 2000 Superduty, with the 5.4. Or is the SVT engine a different breed modular engine all together?
Owner says it has a steel crank and stronger pistons? Thought I may grab onto it for future use. From what I'm reading on here about these peach 5.4's, I'll probably need it.
thanks

The compression ratio on the Lightning block is 8.4:1 and on the standard 5.4 block is 9.30:1 You will want to get a tuner to adjust for the difference along with any other mods you make.
