Nice cam/valvetrain setup. Coming along nicely

CrazyInBlack · 10-11-2006, 07:56 PM

I do not know much about the 5.4 setups

I would guess he probably went with a 2V because it's a lot more affordable. Just find a cheap motor out of a wrecked F150.

Yup, cost I'd imagine. To buy 4V heads setup like his would run close to $4K

Yup, Navi. About $700ish IIRC. But I already have close to $2K invested in my n2o setup alone, so it's adding up really fast
