My 5.4 4v build
Just wanted to share some pics of my almost complete project. PowerHouse did all the work converting from my 4.0 turbo to the GT500 engine.
Short mod list is:
GT500 engine
Lentech 4r70 Strip Terminator trans
Baumann electronic trans controller
PowerHouse 70mm turbo kit
Custom intake & reservoir
AFCO heat exchanger
Still to do:
Chromoly roll cage w/ swingouts (shooting to complete mid-May)
Paint Steeda 2 1/2" Race Cowl hood
Figure out what wheels I want to run...def. going with 15's and want to run 325/50/15 MT's.
We are shooting for dyno time come mid next week and tentatively going to set the boost to 13psi and see what she does. I may have to dial back a bit via boost controller as my main focus is running the FFW Street Bandit class at a 10.6 index. After those events will probably look to chase ET's through the fall.
Engine bay is about 95% complete, just need the finishing touches like caps and such.

RE: My 5.4 4v build
Air to water intercooler and PH fabbed up a reservoir that now sits in the stock battery location to hold ice when needed. The battery was moved to the trunk, not for weight savings but for space!
