So yea why not.
So plan is: RESEARCH RESEARCH.
I did a few minor measurements. and it looks like i will be doing the following
One piece front clip for hood and fenders (i always wanted a fiberglass hood).
Need to of course make custom motor, transmission, and maybe transfer case mounts but thats no biggie.
Need to find a wiring diagram i can study on the 5.4 so if any one has one let me know.
Along with the swap will be a few suspension upgrades to handle the weight and power.
Basicly the plan is to get a complete 5.4 back to the transfer case and all the wiring harness needed.
Pull my 4.0 and cut everything not needed out of the way and put the 5.4 in its place. fairly simple and to the point.
Edit: Its either go back to automatic or get a transmission from a F250 which will be a 6 speed manual..... Dont that sound nice.
Ok time for your input.
