Just got done last week swapping out my M112 Roush charger for a series 6 Saleen 2.3L unit I had lying around the shop. For the most part the swap was pretty straight forward but I ran into a few obstacles along the way I had to account for. I ported the Saleen blower last year for a built 5.4 3V motor I am putting into a 2013 mustang but made a change due to acquiring a a 3.2L Kenne Bell lighting blower which I needed the Roush intake manifold for due to it sharing the same M112 bolt pattern as the 01-04 lightning.
The Saleen series 6 in my opinion is one of the best largest blowers you can bolt onto your 5.4 3V the problem on the truck application is the lid being a huge restriction point. To account for this I got a S281 mustang lid and made some simple changes to run it in the truck platform. This Included changing the thermostat housing used in the saleen kit to a stock outlet to clear the twin blade mustang throttle body. Another issue you will run into if you have a non electric fan set up will be the intake system. I run a 2010-2014 fan assembly on my expedition so it just fit the 100mm Saleen extreme S281 intake system. I will be going to a JLT 110mm intake but I had this new and figured I use the 100mm for now to get the truck running. The fuel system supplying the engine is a modified gt500 twin pump setup with my oem hat installed. The rails are billet areomotive 4.6 3V with a A1000 regulator 2 -8 feed 1 -6 return back to the tank feeding ID1000 injectors. The engine has kooks long tube headers with green cat Y-Pipe LINKED TO A 3" IN 2X 2.5 out gibbson muffler. to help expel the the 15 psi of boost from the supercharger. The engine itself is a completely stock 5.4 3V I bought back in 2013 with 109k on it. The motor has never been opened up or worked on other than a set of ford racing valve covers. I have a catch can helping keep clean the PCV system and keep blow by out of the engine.
The transmission is a 2014 5.0 coyote 6R80 with a stock torque converter which I installed in 2018 still shifting like a champ. Engine management is controlled with a 2014 mustang gt PCM with my own proprietary YAK Performance calibration truly one of a kind. Truck also has a 3:73 limited slip rear axle (carrier) out of a 2004 expedition before trucks had traction control. The steering system is a 2015-2017 Expedition / Navigator EPS (electronic power steering) I removed the hydraulic rack and all the components. ABS system is out of a 2014 mustang gt custom linked to the expedition with track apps. I have now done so may 3V systems these trucks love fuel and need it to keep the engine happy annd living especially once you step up to forced induction. If any one needs help or assistance on tuning their Expedition reach out and I would be happy to help.
