M112 and 5.4 questions

[Dasfinc]

how hard is it to 'slap on' an stock M112 on a stock 2V or 4V engine?
how hard is it to use a 5.4 in a mustang? * Triton motor for example? Will it be slower etc?*

getting my budget together for the mustang project, and have always wanted a blown car, and enjoy my bizzare swaps. I know I already said that "I'm not gonna mod it" so that being said it depends heavily on how well the new job works out obviously, but I'm just kinda curious.

I see all these turbo 5.4 mustangs in these badass vids but i have no idea what block/heads/ if the same trans bolts up. I wanna know this as well.
As far as the eaton thing, I think they make kits for them but you're better off piecing together a blower kit yourself from what I've seen on forums.

I know you can get the M112's for pretty damn cheap, but I've heard that the money you have to spend to make it work is almost as much as buying a used non-M112 setup (Vortech/Paxton/Novi).

X2 because of the heads pulleys. They make a kit to adapt them, but like he said it's like 2-3k for it

You can't mate an M112 intake (Lightning I'm assuming) to 4valve heads. 4 valve 4.6 won't work either. Karkraft.com is gone now. They sold adapters that could have made it possible.

I heard some options are with the GT Supercar heads (expensive) or the Cobra R heads (rare and even more expensive for the Lightning manifold to work. Never seen it done though.

I would just go CSC with a cheapo 5.4 and a find Navigator heads and intake.

Oh yeah. 5.4's have pencil connecting rods so you might as well go built.

A well thought out similar 5.4 2V or 5.4 3V will NOT equal a well thought 4.6 2V or 4.6 3V in Natural Aspiration form. A lot of talk about how it will but none yet have come close. For the 5.4 to outshine the 4.6, it needs the 4V heads in N/A form.

Been covered just about every time the 5.4 comes up. To put it briefly. The 5.4 is considerably heavier. There is no power gain with a 5.4. The 5.4 makes more low end power but runs out of breath quickly and cannot make the same high rpm power than the 4.6 can. That is with the best 2V and 3V heads out there. The best 4V stuff, the 5.4 can out produce the 4.6. The Big-Bores unshroud the valves and can make better use of the air flowed by the heads and will out produce any equal 5.4 combo...

So...5.4 DOHC and build the fuck outta it.
