You deserve better king

When you see a brass hammer in racers garage, that’s a good indication he knows more than he leads you to believe.

[@canadianmarauder1923]

I like these tear down and build videos. Very helpful. I have to go through my 4.6 4v and I’m determined to do it myself

This man always helping others & sharing knowledge. A true blessing to all he encounters. P.s. THANK YOU TOO SARAH FOR LETTING US HAVE HIM SOMETIMES!

Dang that block looks familiar. ask that feller if he bought it off a guy in union lmao. swear that the 2nd one i built for my 04 and sold, if so its held up pretty well. Couple things, If you have any questions about 5.4 dohc stuff I've been at that game for a long long time and have made over 1150rwhp with em with a single 75/76 and I also have made several custom sheetmetal intakes for them(b4 the coyote plates were available). I also still have a couple coyote intakes laying around if he doesn't have a decent intake. Make sure that crank is balanced super well, rebalanced just in case, second, that harmonic balancer looks stock, while the motor supposed to be internally balanced, the square bore of the motor makes it vitally important that there be a 'perfect' balancer just in case when turning 8000rpm. don't use any aftermarket balancer except the 8 rib from innovater west, trust me, iv'e used ati and fluiddamper... Also, the high flow melling oil pump, there is an aluminum one and a steel one, make sure you get the STEEL one, its heavier but it doesn't fail, and make sure you do the cooling x-over on both the back of the heads and the front - ok long enough, great work and good luck, expect equal hp and tq out of those motors, they are fun

Over all this 5.4 looks good! Teardown is always fun unless ur removing broken parts. Sometimes thats not so bad either because you get to buy new parts!! Good luck this go round with the machine shop also bro

[@johnmonroe961]

Always a good video

[@Wowzers2006]

You post some great videos, thank you so much for sharing!

[@IVenomousV]

Keep this build coming along! You the man

[@IVenomousV]

Andrew what alternator is used on this 5.4 4v? What about the clearance between top of alternator vs intake manifold. Mine hits. Last night I realized I may need to notch the mounting points on my alternator to get my Coyote TSP (boss style) intake manifold to mate with Adaptor plates. I need like an extra 1/2” to 3/4” to make it fit.

[@Boostismyfriend]

Everything looks great!

[@zacharycofer5929]

That passenger side front cylinder definitely had water in it, u can tell by the top of that piston being cleaner then the other cylinders plus the surface rust on the valves

[@OGbqze]

5.4 is a great Engine. Just curious, how many liters is the Triton V10?

[@souljayt8411]

6.8

[@TBusaMike]

Great Video !!~!!... Im contemplating doing a 5.4 32v swap in my Merc Marauder... My question is what intake manifold are you using on your 5.4 ?

[@locospeed01]

I want to know the same thing lol?

[@wallsmr1840961]

It looks like he has adapter plates so it could be a coyote intake

[@brandona4618]

So uh. You got some 2v pi heads laying around? Its getting where i can only find npi heads these days

[@Trav-trav]

Will you please build a 4.6 triton truck late 90s early 2000s more of a budget build but done right under 5k

[@johnny_truth]

I’ve been wondering if that would be a good idea. I have a 99 and thought about budget building and slapping a cheap turbo kit on it and see if it would be fun to drive. A few suspension mods and not sure if the transmission is strong enough for a power adder.

[@midnight347]

​@@johnny_truthyou can get a built 3650 done for 1000 bucks if you can find a 3650 to build you can prob build t45 too Hanlon mototsports if it's a 4r70 they can take 500-700 hp depending on a few factors. As for building it not sure not an auto guy.

[@kylewillis439]

Do those 5.4 2v or 4v bolt and plug right into a 4.6 harness or do you need a standalone?

[@matthewslaughter781]

My face when I realize it’s not a 2v😱🤔🤫

[@raybradley4722]

What state do you live in andrew ,ive been watching your vids for years ,i live in ms.and would love to race with you i also run an 03 mustang gt i would like for you to tune mine and tie all my upgrades together she runs excellent but i know you could make her really work better im running an old predator 93 tune and im in need of some help on which hand held tuner will improve my performance ,im allways in your corner hoping you win your biggest fan ray ty for all the vids

[@midnight347]

The heads are all interchangeable the 5.4 is just taller and wider by a slight bit

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

Im sorry bro but in my opinion the 5.4 is the worst engine that Ford ever built. Just my opinion...

[@centraltexasfoxbodies]

In your opinion what makes it bad? I have a factory 5.4 in my 1968 ford n750

[@Prestiged_peck]

The 5.4 3v is what you're thinking of, the 2v was gutless but bulletproof like the 4.6 aside from plug blowing issues, the 5.4 DOHC is the legendary engine used in the shelbys. Also the 5.4 was used up to 2018 in E series Vans with non-VVT 3v heads and they're utterly bulletproof. ALSO the early teens shelby used what very tightly based on a 5.4 block.

[@Insertnamehere555]

You're probably thinking about the 3v.
