iRoush Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Again its a waste of money imo. unless you have a 3v donor car I wouldn't recommend it or it'll cost you $$$ on the little stuff you don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooo much gruntSent by smoke signalsI was gonna throw some tf a hardballr and an on3 kit ..... but met a guy with basically my long block waiting on a few things before install .... then we talked about Hp and how we want more flow The D3V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRoush Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Considering that option ... its not a waste if its what u want lol The D3Vbut why? you could make just as much power with the 2v with an on3 kit, without having to replace as much as you would on a 3v. Unless there's some odd reason I'm not understand, I just don't see the point. Or hell, drop a terminator engine in it and call it a day for even less lol.

330CubeGt Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Not a fan of a 3v for all the work, but if I were to do a 3v swap I would do it to a 5.4... 5.4 with a blower and better breathin heads would be a absolute beast Heads up and ass kickin!

Bullitt Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 donor car shouldn't be to hard to find for a 3V. I thought of doing this with the Bullitt but Brian is rubbing off on me and I don't know what I want to do with my car anymore. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01yellercobra Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'd keep the 5.4 short block. Throw the 3V heads if that's the route you want to go. Would you run a control pack from Ford? If not do they make a throttle body for the 3V intake that uses a throttle cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinschmidt1 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Why not just do a 5.4 4v..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SniveTroll Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I think a 5.4 3v would be badass. I do think between intake manifold and control pack would be a handful of tasks. Sure you could do timing phasers but then it might as well be a lame 3v. 4v would be EASY way out. I seriously think a tfs 5.5 would rock socks. Look into the hardballr. Oh this is Another 5.4 or 4.6 with a me2 vortech/on3. Then wa'ammm it pulls yacht lengths or crazy 1/4sSent by smoke signals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3vst8r96gt Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm not a dohc lover Yeah there is a lot to over come ..... I wanna Do the 5.4 3v with a blower if I stick with a 4.6 block I get get lighter and still run affordable long tube headersThe D3V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis@OrtizPerformance Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 If you are looking for power, wanting to stay with the 2v, and have a blower, your best bet would be to get the Tork Tech kit. It's not an easy way out, you will get that whine, plus, not many people are running them. Install is pretty straight forward, its gathering the parts that gets a bit challenging. Once you are done, the reward will be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
