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?
Yes they have 5.4 carb conversions. You'll need to convert it to distributor ignitions as well secondly will i be able to put a t5 or other 5 speed behind this motor?
Yes. Lakewood makes a bellhousing that you can mate a T5 to. 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.
