[QUOTE="MurderedOutSVT, post: 2001258, member: 49121"] The window edition club is pretty exclusive and the dues are quite pricey. Budget is #1 All said and done, I have just under 10K in a straight swap Head gasket is my first thought. Is there chocolate puddin looking goo on the oil filler cap bottom? 150K on a 5.4 is starting to get tired, not bad but a little too much for forced induction for my comfort. Consider the trans is also tired too and that would need rebuilt while the motor is out. Would a 6.2/6.6 swap need the computer and other management stuffs for the bigger motor? 6.2 are damñ near impossible to find. It took 6 months to find one and it was only by chance a poor Jen Juan got nailed in the rear and shop guy found it. The 6.6 shortblock alone is somewhere in the 10K range, if i remember. It would surely handily gut the trans. I would rebuild or get a new 5.4 and keep the Procharger... they're fun and make a neat S/C whine. It's fun to see the reaction when I tell folks it's just a vacuum leak [/QUOTE]
