This guy: https://www.youtube.com/@MattSoppa Does 5.0 Coyote swaps for a 5.4 F-150. I think this could work on the 5.4 E series van.

The 5.4 does love to be ran at a little higher RPM. At first I used to try to keep the RPM's low, but then realized, it doesn't matter for that engine. I actually think I get better MPG's if I stay in it a little more. The 5.4 isn't a bad engine. My old van was a 7.3L diesel, that made 500hp. I...

I'm not sure. And I can totally be wrong. First of all, I won an auction on a salvage RV with the Godzilla engine in it. With every intention to swap it into my rig. At the time I was moving across the country and didn't have the time or room, to keep it. So I sold it. I love the Godzilla...

10 mpg is good compared to the Godzilla. I've heard it gets 7-8 mpg

12ft box. V10 or Godzilla, either one is great. I have a 5.4L and don't recommend lol. I get 10mpg basically all the time.

He probably was talking about a box like mine. Steel floor and corners. My walls are gel coated plywood. Rear wall where the door was is all steel. I've had my box truck for 3ish years now. Absolutely love it. It's the same length as a EB van, not counting all the crap I have hanging off the...

Spent 5 days on the road. I had to go to a training class. Ran the a/c all night every time, never plugged in. We were next door to NASA: NOLA, the local spots: Last night in the parking lot of the office:

Funny you ask. I just got the box truck weighed the other day. This weight is without 4WD. And there is a lot of weight on the rear. But once I add my air bag / 4 link rear suspension (DIY Kelderman setup), it will shift that weight forward a lot. I get 10 mpg. Doesn't matter if it's in...

Ditched the old vinyl busted up seats for some new takeouts that are cloth. So freaking nice!

Yup. Working on converting mine to 4wd right now.

Great looking rig. Did you know they make conversion kits for Hellcat superchargers to fit on the 6.0 Vortec? A used Hellcat supercharger is $2500, and the kit is $600. I'm not saying you need 600 more hp, but you need 600 more hp.

Camped out in front of Jennifer Coolidge's house for Mardi Gras. Didn't see her tho. 2 blocks from the parades and it was quiet at night. Couldn't ask for better.

Looking good!

SOLD.

Prepping this rusty bastard that's been sitting beside the house for the last 2 years. I am using a rust encapsulator that is made for the marine industry, that you can only buy in South Louisiana. Once this cures, and it's painted, you can drop this in the bottom of a lake for a year and it...
