ok guys, I need some help here. I just purchased a running 3v 5.4 to swap into the saleen in place of the 3v 4.6. Everything is simple and easily swapped out except for the intake. I have heard that they now make the adapter plates to run my 4.6 intake and blower set up on the 5.4 but i am having trouble locating a place that has them. If any of you have any idea where i might be able to locate a set of these, please let me know. With the 5.4's having forged cranks already, the engine I'm wanting to build should be pretty cheap to do. I still have some studying to do, but i can't see going any further with anything until i resolve the intake issues.

thanks for the link man. I'm going to call them tomorrow and talk to them and see if they can fabricate something for me. I still want to use my saleen blower and they don't have anything on their site that can work for me, but maybe they can fabricate something that will.

I'm hoping that I can take this project and run with it. I came across the 3v 5.4 for a stupidly low price of $150 and is in great shape. Hopefully i can get the motor put together and put it in next winter while the car is parked for the winter.

might also need to find the PCM for the motor. Not sure the 4.6 will be a direct swap.

The factory computer can be tuned for the 5.4
If you get on corral.net in the svt/dohc section and do a search on 5.4 swaps you may find where them guys was getting the adapters to use their stock 4.6 4v intakes. i know you dont have a 4v, but if you find out who makes the 4v plates it may help you.
