    any suggestions this is my first mod motor and im not sure about where to get turbo hotside kit or anything, so far i have found the sullivan intake and thats about it, it is a low mileage 26k lincoln navi motor (forged internals i understand) :D any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

    there are a few builds on the site of this setup, (mine included), i personally built all my own kit, i have a sullivan (will need a cowl hood), the only forged part in the motor worth its weight is the crankshaft, rest of rotating is junk, there are many options, check out the builds

    yeah as jmstekguy said the crank is forged but the rods and pistons are crap. i do not know of any kits you are probably going to have to make your own. you can try some 4 valve headers but they probably won't fit.
    i'm in the process of building a 5.4 now for my 02 gt and i want to run e-85 and a turbo

    thanks for your suggestions, i will definatley check out those builds, the worst part is i just got my parts to finish my 302 with the turbo and then i got this one to put in the car so im basically going to be starting over at this point, ive been told with good rods and pistons in the 5.4 and my single t-70 i can make 1000 hp i dont know if that is realistic or not but i guess we will see. any idea what flow #'s on a stock navigator head is??

    it would be cheaper/less painful, lol to go with a windsor stroker and a 88mm, might want to give a thought, i thought about it through my whole build, haha

    yeah well that was my original plan but i got this motor in a trade and already own it now, so i guess i just need to bite the bullet and go for it

    no way in hell the single t-70 will make 1000 hp. a t-76 would probably struggle to hit that.

    no, the rails are sullivan too, its a good package deal if you buy the intake, upper plenum and rails, scott@sullivan will hook you up
