Another blown expy coming soon!

[SOLISIMO]

Check my previous post above..... I have ported it. The blower was relatively easy... the lower intake is a pain in the a$$. Too many different angles to work with. Since I am going with tfs heads I wanted everything before it to flow as best as possible so the tfs would be more beneficial. Box stock tfs heads are supposed to flow better than fully ported PI heads!! But damn are they expensive. I only plan to port match the tfs heads to the intake. Untouched otherwise.

I am hoping all this improves not only power but efficiency when I can manage to keep my foot out of the throttle..

I had great success with my mustang home porting it. Heads, intake, plenum...etc.

Sorry man I missed that

Not to steal the post, but I want to do a V10 swap in mine. I already have the 4r100 trans and a 9 3/4 rear diff in my Exped. Should be a drop in V10, rewire and exhaust.

Not exactly a drop in. But it can be done. You can use the above link for info on this swap. The O.P. sounds willing to help with tech support and questions.

I chose the lightning swap because it is a well proven combo with high aftermarket support. I believe the lightning swap would be more fuel efficient also.... if you can manage to stay out of the throttle. Your are stuck feeding the extra cubes regardless of throttle position with the v10. (HWY mpg's) Just my opinion.

I believe all 1st gen 5.4's came with 4r100 and 9.75 rear. The 4.6's did not.

I am also a diehard blower guy as I have had, built and tuned a supercharged mustang since the early 90's. Gotta love boost!!

I think some xlt's and certain packages (non towing package) came with the 4r70 and smaller gear ratio (3.55) non limited slip and possibly the smaller diff as well, don't quote me on that though.

Yea !! Finally have my built long block assembly.

MHP 5.4 lightning longblock assembly with TFS heads, Comp cams 102500 (MHP stage 1), Manley H beam rods. ARP rod bolts, main and head studs. Built to handle 900+ hp.

Sorry walnuts.... plan to keep this one.

Still have a long road ahead of me getting it installed. While waiting for the motor I have home ported the blower, intake, and upper plenum. Will add some pics.

i wish i knew half the shit you guys know about engines. i really want to tear mine down and build it like you guys but right now, i would pretty much have to pay to have the whole damn thing done and dropped in...and i dont have that kind of money.
