Pg 18 of the new Four Wheeler mag, says Ford is phasing out the modular family, to be replaced by the Coyote engine, four valves per cylinder, 5.0 Liter, and a goal of 400 hp and 400 ft lbs!

 

Oh dear. same hp as the early 00 LS engines. . .

 

Thanks, dude. Just wanted to share some good news, sorry you can't be happy. go drive your camero.

 

this isnt anything new. chill out.

 

his camaro is broke rember? it was a good tool bench when he pulled his 4.6 out.

ford shoulda kept the 5.8 and the 5.0 and never had any of this modular BS id much rather have a 5.0 over my 4.6. and i know guys with 5.4s that would rather have 5.8's

 

I'd keep it how it is. Lets keep Chevy pushrod, and ford modular. I like my 5.4, even though its the lowest rated of them, its still a good engine. I'd choose it over a Vortec 5.7

 

Favorite Factory set up =



Not only reliable, - it's bad a$$!!

 

and that is exactly what

 

lightning motor Supercharged 5.4L OOOOO SEXY TIME!!! ill take one of those too Jbrew

 

yeah i agree.....

 

I wouldn't run out and press yer dress for graduation on that news. You'll likely never see it at those numbers in an F150. Mustang....maybe, F150, no. Expect the realistic numbers for the F150 to be more in line with 250hp max and maybe 280lb torque. Ford already has the larger engine covered and this will be the replacement for the 4.6. Not the replacement for all Tritons. I'm looking forward to it though. The 4.6 has been a wonderful and extremely reliable platform. But considering it's physical size, it's not very practical. The 5.4 has never been a good engine and Ford saw that early in it's life. While we all have our favorites, it's time for the 5.4 and all of the issues with it to go away. I expect the 5.4 to be remembered like the 6.0 diesel. If you got a good one you were blessed. But the luck of the draw was lousy for far too many folks.

You might also be seeing a newer version of the 6.2 with a lower deck height. As proposed, it would be in the same size as the current 5.4 at around 330 cu in. Until they fully develop this engine, I expect to see the 5.0 and the 6.2 as the engines available for the F150 with different power outputs as options.

 

amen to that.

 

That's an 03 Stock Set-up I bid on. From Jackson Michigan. The guy purchased the engine directly from Ford for a Hot Rod project that never happened. I only had about 3800 to spare at the time. - Not sure what it went for - around 6 grand I think.

Not positive, but I think this guy purchased it -

i was always under the impression that the block was good, it was just the internals that sucked in the 5.4.

 

Since when has the 5.4 never been a good engine! You must be kidding me!......
