I agree. The 03-04 Mach 1's and 03-04 Cobra's as well as the Marauder's have 4V heads. They are great heads for boost - proven by the Cobra's.

 

Might be better off with the 32V heads anyway and not have to mess with the variable cam timing of the 24V heads.

24V is my inability to do math... I'm used to V6's with 4 valves per cylinder... 32V my bad

 

No, not picking on you. I find a lot of references on the internet for 24V 5.4L Superchargers, like this one:

04–07' FORD 5.4L 24V PROCHARGER SUPERCHARGER SYSTEM

. I was just wondering if it is a different engine from the 3V 5.4L engine.

 

Yeah, it'll be cool if I can find an off-the-shelf roots or whipple kit for my truck, I really don't want to go centrifugal... if I'm putting my time and money into this, I won't settle for anything less than what I want, unless someone donates a procharger to the cause then I'll play with one of those

 

I was under the impression the only 4v headed 5.4 was natural aspirated in the Lincolns. The 5.4's taller deck makes the intake manifold wider than the 4.6, so the 4.6 blower manifold will not work. This is where my research years ago led me.

I'm using Delta Forces (used to be call Sniper Inc)'s Special Forces software to write my tunes and their interface to upload it.

My thoughts on off-the-shelf would be to talk to kene bell and see if they can piece together an f150 5.4L lower manifold, a drive and then the v10 plenum+out. My thought is that they only make one drive case per displacement, so the 3.2 (or whatever your choice is) is the same drive for the 4.6L mustang and the v10. The difference comes in at the manifold to head and the plenum dump location. The little stuff like the intercooler's radiator, pump are probably the same, but may have different lengths tubes.

 

I'm pretty sure there are aftermarket companies out there that have adapted plates to mate 5.4's to 4.6's and vice versa. At least head/intake wise...

 

My research was done when VT engines and Sullivan were creating new unthought of parts for mod motors. I'm behind the times, so it's entirely possible.

 

4V 5.4L came both ways. The GT had a supercharged 4V engine.

 

Another way to go, instead of going with multiple valve heads is to get a set of Trick Flow 2V heads.

I can personally tell yall, after crunching the numbers I dont think this project will be happening this year... roughly 10K for everything I want! But here's the good yall have found for me:

This is possible, and it still is cheaper than a new truck!

 

I hear ya. I need to get my second vehicle running, re-side my auto shop, then I can start piecing together my build. All it takes is money.

 

You forgot time and patience!

 

With enough money you don't need either. With enough money this could be your day job, and you could hire people with patience for when you exhaust yours.

 

So after further looking into this, it may be in my best interest to build a 6.8L with a whipple and drop it in old blue. My thoughts are there is a larger aftermarket and more off-the-shelf parts. I don't really want a V10, because I know I can do more with 8 holes than most do with 10, but idk anymore. Thoughts?

Or should I just shelve this whole project and shoe horn a built 460 into the truck? I believe the 460 would be the cheapest route, but I don't know about compatibility issues
