I have for a long time wanted to put a 5.0 into one of my 240sx's but have never gotten around to it. I am not hugely a ford guy so my questions will probably be dumb so please bare with me. I can get my hands on a 5.4 liter out of a 2000 expedition minus accessories for nothing. What i want to know is first of all i want to stick what ever motor goes in carbed first, will there be an intake etc to make this motor carbed? secondly will i be able to put a t5 or other 5 speed behind this motor? I was reading and seeing that alot of people have been putting these motors in their 4.6 stangs. I am no stranger to bastard motor swaps so the 240 is the small issue i just do not know enough about ford engines, time to do alot of research and hopefully get some good answers from you guys

5.4 is a VERY TALL motor. Depending on your 240's k-member and mounts you might need a cowl hood like 4-5" high. Either that or you can put some spacers between the K and body. The overall height would be less if you kept it fuel inj. WOuld you be building the bottom end or just putting a stock 5.4 in there. REason I ask is because it has a super long stroke (4.16) so you'll be rpm limited to about 6500. But would be a cool swap.

This would be SICK to see. I mean...WOW! It won't be cheap though. Good luck.

yes you can carb it. you can look online and find a carbed intake but you have to buy and msd ignition box specific for carbed 5.4's. it all realiyt it would be a better idea to put a 5.0 or 5.8 in it. it will be easier and cheaper more realiable and a better starting point for further upgrades (headc/cam/intake super charger ect...) if your interested i have a 306 with forged pistons, rods and a stock crank for sale pm me if you wanna make a deal (im going from a 5.0 to a stroked 5.8 with a supercharger 393cubes and 15lbs of boost is a wonderful thing)

it would be a cool swap, aslong as its not another drift car... lol

you can use a t45 transmission behind the 5.4 if you decide to stay with the 5.4 and tranny that bolts to a 4.6 bolts to the 5.4 (t45 and t56 are the 2 that come to mind but i think there are more)

TR3650 works too I believe as long as you have the flywheel and the 11 in clutch to go with it

this would most definately be a drag car, dj and I always talked about doing ti so sooner or later it will get done. looks like i am going to have to do a bunch more research thnx for the answers and pmed about the 306.

Sullivan intake is the one you will want to use if you go carbed on a 5.4.

And you should change your name to lord of the 240 sx.
