Default Check out my new engine for my 1990 Mustang

A while back, I posted pics of my new 90 GT project and threw around the idea of throwing a 4-cam motor in it. You guys gave me lots of encouragement and told me 'dare to be different'. So here are some pics of the crusty 5-oh that's on the way out and the sweet 5.4 navi motor that's going in. I bought it 100% complete with harnesses, computer and everything for less than $1800 delivered to my house. Next steps are k-member swap and 5-lug conversion, then I'll rebuild the navi with forged internals. Maybe later on I might even throw in a Cobra IRS just for grins. I'll keep you guys updated on the progress.

Probably going to run a 4r70w with a ratchet shifter and higher stall converter.

They are rated at 300 hp/ 355 tq from the factory; however, the intake manifold will obviously be replaced (way too tall to fit under the hood, super long runners designed for torque production and low revs), so that should give some more power. I also plan to either give it a set of FR500 cams or swap the heads entirely. Not to mention the twin turbo kit I have waiting for it.

Twin turbos on a 5.4, in a fox, wicked! That's some serious horsepower. Waiting for pics and video of the results!
