Thread: 5.4 liter for my 53

Tweet

I need help i have a 5.4 liter engine and transmission out of a 2002 f-250. I want to put this in my 53 ford pickup but have no idea what its going to take to do it. I just pulled the flathead out of the 53 so where do i start. And how difficult is this going to be the wiring is whats got me puzzled.

mounting it isn't too difficult look up on summit you'll see some in there.... for the wiring, get yourself a engine wiring diagram for the 5.4 you're going to be looking at that thing to the point you think you're going crazy and then, you'll figure it out..... i believe you can also buy a 5.4 harness and controller kit

You can start by donating me the old flathead! I belong to a hot rodders charity group called "Parts for Farts." It's a group of needy rodders like myself who are currently low on extra cash to blow mindlessly on parts they want but probably dont need. Your donation of your unused parts will help maintain their mental health, spiritual well being, and will help make their wives happy because they will be happy. Extend the hand of love and charity to these needy guys, and donate your flathead. You'll thank yourself when you see the happiness you've given them.

If you don't need to know right away, I'll let you know!!!! Just getting started on a 5.4 and AOD into a '67 Mustang coupe. The wiring information is available on the net, but it's going to take some studying to get it right. Keep all the wiring and components from the donor and you'll be way ahead. The engines are tall and wide. The height shouldn't be a problem in an old Effie, plenty of room but it will probably take some massaging to accomodate the width of the engine in that skinny old Ford!!!!!!

Skinny old ford now thats not nice As for donating the old flatty im not so sure im ready to part with it it ran before i took it out never got hot had no leaks or nothing thinking about rebuilding it later just cant afford it now. As for time im in no hurry im doing body work at this time just getting the frame ready for paint as we speak. Thanks for all the info I know were i can go when i need help

Flattie the 5.4 is a great engine i drive a 04 F150 lots power and torque moving this 5400 lb truck around. When i put in my Superchips program it wakes up even more .


Falcon that sounded real good . Now i need a second cup to wake .

Dave that wiring thing has been what kept alot from updating engines . A drawing will be worth a mill.

Soon as we have time we're going to get back on the Mustang, I'll post up some pics for you. Still putting the frame rails in now, guess we aren't in much of a hurry on it, either.... and skinny old Ford was a compliment!!!!!!
