bro i beg you to drop the links to the parts you ordered. Im tryna make my dads van as fast as possible. Im only 16 but im gonna buy it off of him since so many memories have been made in it.

@@merkclan_1880 Nothing I can really tell you other than what I described. I shopped around until I found the best price for each part. The whipple was 5K, short block was 5K and heads were $2500. All the other stuff like larger injectors, fuel system, ARH exhaust and other consumables was close 7k. The real thing that makes power is assembly knowlege and tuning.

@@merkclan_1880 do heads cam and a used gt500 blower off eBay and you can make some decent power

@@merkclan_1880 damn he's selling it to you that's fucked up

Glad to hear i got a tall tower single cam over yead 5.4 in my van and wanna upgrade it fully

No it's not hard to believe for others that own mod motors

Wasn’t planning on reusing any of the valvetrain/rotating assembly. If I were reusing those components you are absolutely right

We’re expecting like 480HP at the crank, but we are sacrificing some low end torque as the motor is going in a very light car. For your F-250 I would suggest looking into fitting a supercharger from the lightning. That would yield fantastic results for a big truck. Then from there you can look into engine internals. To put a lightning blower on an N/A 5.4 2V you need the supercharger, throttle body, air intake, injectors, rails, intake manifold with the air to water intercooler, heat exchanger for the intercooler, harmonic balancer, and a few other front drive components, and a tune. Best would be to find a lightning and part it out.

The weakest link in the 5.4 2vs is the connecting rods. Everything else you’re good for 500 whp. Although if you’re going into the block that deep it doesn’t hurt to consider pistons. Definitely ARP bolts, it’s a no brainer. I agree with the supercharger especially for low end on a super duty

242k still like new. Never been opened up.

The 3V wasn't necessarily a bad motor either they both had the unfortunate problem of having crappy cylinder heads that limited power production and having severe lack of engine displacement options and with the 3V introducing the notoriously bad cam phasers it was a recipe for disaster, it's awesome that ford figured out how to give Chevy a run for it's money with the 5.0 though Chevy or dodge for that matter simply just can't make pushrods compete with fords twin independent variable cam timing without the extra cubic inches

Came from a 2000 Expedition! Specifically looked for a 99-00 5.4 so we would have the forged crank and pi heads (if we didn’t end up using the much better Trick Flow heads)

Great motors!!

Video is filmed, in the editing process.

@@garagegurutv6419 Looking forward to it, planning on doing most of these mods to my 2v this winter. Pretty happy to find a good teardown and install video like this.

We are expecting WELL over 400HP. We will post numbers once we get it dyno tuned

Just might take you up on that!!!

It’s an Eaton 2300 Lysholm Screw-Type Supercharger per Wikipedia! Lysholm patented screw design, manufactured by Eaton

Thanks for the support! You are half right about 5.4s having little aftermarket support. The 4.6s got WAY more love but luckily the 4.6 heads cams intakes and many supercharger kits bolt right on or simply require an adapter plate. Don’t forget about the lightning aftermarket as well!

@@garagegurutv6419 so is this intake for a 4.6 and your gunna use adapters?

@@muffdiver777yummy8 that’s correct. I’m making the adapters myself.

That’s really cool! I do not know much about CNG vehicles and the performance of them, but what I will say is that the best bang for your buck power for the 5.4 2V in trucks is getting a supercharger from a lightning. You have me interested now in performance applications for CNG! I will have to ask some of my SEMA friends about it!

I just learned about nat gas 5.4 . But I have never seen one on the road. I wonder what you could do with it. 🤔

Honestly any of the Amazon ones are pretty good if you are just looking for the gaskets. For pistons and bearings and such, check Summit/Jegs

There are two 4.6/5.4 heads offered from trick flow. The 185s and the 195R heads. The 185s will bolt right on to the stock bore. The 195R heads require a bore of at least 3.572” or .020” overbore to clear the larger valves

@@garagegurutv6419 Thank you for clarifying. I want to tackle this on my car, but I'm a bit nervous, since I don't have experience with doing engine work this extensive. Do you have any recommendations?

@maccius yes hire somebody with the right tools and knowledge. For a seasoned mechanic its still a big Job. Lots of stuff that needs to be perfect or destruction happens.

The cylinder heads are CARB legal. This engine is going into a 1929 Model A so no worries there

Week of thanksgiving! Video is already filmed. School has been crazy this semester! I appreciate the patience…

@@garagegurutv6419 thanksgiving is over… when will the new part drop?

Purposefully didn’t include them. They are a fundamentally different engine. All of the motors listed share the same bore spacing, deck height (mostly), and many parts. The 6.2 Boss has a different bore spacing and shares zero parts with the Mod motor family. Nonetheless they are badass workhorse engines!!

You can beef them up so they are decent engines

Love my 2 valve but there are many many 3 valves out there with well over 300k hard miles on them. They’re very sensitive to maintenance. And ya terrible design overall and it can be a total Crap shoot to buy used. I personally would never buy a 3 valve now

It’s the Trick Flow Track Heat Intake Manifold for 4.6L 2V Ford Engines. It is part number TFS-51811002 and is available from Summit Racing!

@@garagegurutv6419 you still need an adapter plate to fit on the 5.4

@@angelarmendariz8844 yes we machined a custom set that are port matched to the intake and the trick flow heads

6500RPM

@@garagegurutv6419 out of a 2v, that’s pretty damn impressive

@@garagegurutv6419 edit a 5.4. I didn’t know the 5.4 could rev that high do to its design

@@user-mk4se3nu5z my stock 2v's rpm limit i set it to 6k..lol 09 P71..

I would counter your point with my own. I am new to this line of engines and didn't know any of this out side of the the 4.6 and 5.4s in their various valve configurations. I haven't found many good history videos, do you have any links on tap?

@@nevermore9197 I would check out this guy's channel Fordtechmakuloco. He has some of the greatest vids on the mod motors.

Haven’t dyno’d it yet. Similar 4.6 2 valves make about 380whp. We are expecting over 400whp especially with the “higher” compression.

If you have to ask you are in over your head

With the revised cam phasers and a whipper they are astoundingly reliable and torquey! The early ones did have their issues, but once rectified they really are great. Have had a couple of them myself!

I meant Whipple haha

@@garagegurutv6419 when you say the early ones what years are you referring to?

@@JohnSmith-xx1lx well the 3v came out in trucks in 2004 and the TSB for the updated cam phasers was 07 I think.

@@garagegurutv6419 that makes sense, thanks for the info!
