5.4 in a Fox?

Perfect I'll giver a try thank you for the help was worried about chopping up sway bar mounts. Doesn't appear to be much room for connecting the brake Lines after thou
 
There isn't a great deal of room, but remember that without the skin, the chassis is very similar. Both your donor car and your toy are on the fox chassis, so Ford changed some things, but not that much in terms of basic locations
 
It is tighter in a fox than a SN95/New Edge car, that is for sure but it will fit and it will clear sway bar mounts. I have removed my sway bar mounts but if you look closely you can see the spot where they were in the pic, and no the engine bay will not be staying that way in my car... Still in mock up, the fox engine bay is a hair bit shorter but it is shorter in front of the sway bar mounts not behind them

Btw engine bay looks really nice!
 
Cool, thx I'm in process of getting engine harness and few odds and ends, then hopefully it will go in, can't wait it's actually getting fun again, smoothing sucked but so worth it in the end

Agreed. The biggest issue I have with the 5.4 for most swaps is they make the fox nose heavy

How heavy is the 5.4 DOHC as compared to a 351 Windsor? The 5.4 DOHC has Aluminum heads at least. I guess I never consider the modular motor to be too heavy.
 
I'm guessing it isn't much different than the 351. My reference point for comparison is the aluminum block 4.6.
 
Its good to see all the info. I am swapping a 2011 5.4 out of a gt500 into a 1991 gt fox. Getting parts together now. What is everyone using for a radiator? Is it running cool. I have heard the these engines can run hot in a swap. Any suggestions?
 
Hey Quicksilver, I had a rad from the 5.0L griffin race rad however the inlet/outlet port sizes were way to small/ called up Fluidyne and they made me a rad with 2011, 5.4 hose specs.
 
Thanks SubOca, That info is helpful, Glad to know that they will make the changes. Are you running AC and an intercooler?
 
Yes it fits but she is tight. I'm using factory headers with Mach x pipe modded to work with my set up
