The 3V was introduced in the F150 in 2004. The SD's got it in 2005.

 

i do not think you understand my situation I have nothing bad to say about a V-10 because i've never had one but i have had 5.0s, 289s,5.4s, 351c,and4.6s,all of these are good SMALL BLOCK CAR ENGINES I want a big block in this truck so please this is not an engine swap i need the 5.4 is in perfect condition its just not a BIG BLOCK

 

If a BIG BLOCK is all you are after why not get an older truck with one already in it (or from a body style/era that came with one). You could pick it up cheap and still have money left over to up the HP since that seems to be what you're after. Otherwise you are going enter into a nightmare and end up with a truck that you may or may not be able to register depending on how fast emissions testing gets pushed down our throats in the name of saving the environment. Plus if you ever go to sell it who is really going to want to buy it.

 

I have an 86 model f-150 4x4 came with 300-6 4 speed it now has a 460. I also have an 84 f-250 came with 351M it now has 460 C-6. i have also had 78 bronco, 77 f-150, and 77 f-100 all came with less I gave them more I intend on doing the same with this truck

 

Ok, I get why you are doing it now.

You REALLY need to look into the tail pipe testing and deside if you are sure you can get it to pass.
In the county I live in if I took an 04 in and it had no OBD II plug for the test, it would fail on the spot.

What year 460 are you puting in?

Where do you live?

 

im going to think out side of the box and say put a 5.9 12v in the truck. the mounts are avalible and you can find a complete dodge donor for pretty cheap with the economy like it is

 

He said he does not want a deisel.

 

The bottom line is this; given enough money and engineering anything from a Harley Davidson Twin-V engine to a Merlin V-1650 V-12 would fit, but since it is your truck you're the only one who can decide what is practical.

 

well, sounds like you are set on doing this, so go for it.

so you need crossmembers, engine mounts, tranny mount, wireing, instruments, maybe switches and radio too

does your transfer case drop to the correct side?

might be easier (and more legal) to get an old chassis and put the new body on it.

 

I looked into it more on the Baumann website. You can use the E4OD, and buy a stand alone electronic control box to operate the trans functions. So you can have the OD with the 460.

If you are waiting until the 5.4 dies, you may have a long wait though. 70K miles for that engine is nothing.

 

that is the best reply I have received so far you have a great point but i beleive the biggest problem most people have with this idea is smog and wiring no matter what frame i use the scary problems go with the body

 

THIS IS A PERFECTLY GOOD 5.4 IF I COULD GET A LITTLE HELP WITH MY WANTS I will give the 5.4engine,trans and transfer to someone that does WANT it or someone that needs it I dont WANT it.

 

you got my interest on both motors you are gonna be doing a lot of fab work on this.. keep good records and photo logs you are not alone with this idea.....verey intrested will offer any help I can...keep in touch

 

tanks for the enthusiasm ken. I think you hit the nail on the head why everyone seems to think im crazy with one four letter word "WORK"

 

I don't think it's a problem with "WORK". I'm planning on putting a one of the new 5.7 Hemi's in my 1949 Dodge Coronet. However it is an "UPGRADE" over the old motor not a "DOWNGRADE". Plus I can make it emissions compliant (if they ever decide to smog antiques) while making a lot more power.
