Just curious if anyone has decided to build an all aluminum 5.4L blown V8 to swap in. It looks like Ford finally decided to offer a usuable block similiar to the one used in the Ford GT.

Ford Racing's website lists part # M-6010-GTWS for $3,999

As basically a Ford GT block machined for a wet sump block face modular oil pump and modular wet sump oil pan. It also includes the stock modular starter pocket.

So my question is, do we now have a bolt in option for an all aluminum 5.4L motor? Because if so this is 100lbs lighter than a cast iron 5.4 block. If you drop one of these all aluminum in a GT, you will have one fast car a hundred pounds or so lighter than a GT500.

Thoughts, ideas, issues, any feedback welcome at this point

This is one combo among plenty others, to make a GT go fast.
Not the cheapest of course...

This would be good to do this on a V6 platform, where you'd start from scratch and go all out.

Good point, I just like the idea of an all aluminum 5.4L. Maybe it's me getting nervous about starting to encounter the new Camaro's....LOL

Been done a few times, here is an example. http://www.mustang50magazine.com/fea..._gt/index.html

A supercharger will take care of that Camaro, if it scares you that much...
But a 5.4 blown will always be cooler
