Mustang 5.4L Engine Swap - Size Matters
|
Shown here in midconstruction is the key to this swap-billet-aluminum adapters that will allow any 4.6 intake to bolt onto a 5.4. After measurements were taken to get the exact width difference between the 4.6 and the 5.4, CAD software was used to draw the spacer and determine the exact angle at which the ports needed to be milled. The required thickness, which ended up at 1 1/2 inches, was determined by measuring the angle of the intake port coming out of the cylinder head, and then using the CAD software to determine how thick the spacers needed to be to give the airflow a straight shot into the cylinder head. The first set was whittled by hand by the author, but if demand warrants, the spacers may become production items. View Related Article
