@horspla2000 - Never heard a tensioner make that kind of sound. Hell, I had one seize completely on the highway (on a Bonneville doing 75 no less) and it never made a sound until it threw a belt and I see the temperature gauge skyrocket while voltage died.

LoL, was that truck in the video the donor?

Cool thanks!

Did the JBA shorties bolt right up to the midpipe without any modifications done to the exhaust?. Because I don't want to cut it up or do anything like that if I decide to put a 5.4 in it.

Sounds good dude!! What type of headers did you use on the 5.4 are they shorty headers? I'm planning on doing a 5.4 swap soon on my mustang. I heard the stock headers won't fit because there too long!

Nice man. I think iv seen you on the mustangboards lol sounds sick. Hopefully i too will get my 00 4.6 swapped to 5.4 ?But i have a million and one questions to post still on there and find everything out lol
I hear a tad bit of a whistle... almost sounds like it's supercharged but it's clearly not. It's a nice sounding car. What kind of mods did you have to do to the transmission or did that bolt right up?

@Slipknotyk06 it was the bearing in the serp belt tensioner. IT quit making noise after I ran it for a bit.

I have an X-pipe and I was able to spring I over and get it bolted up. The 5.4 is taller and wider, but I didn't have any problems.

I have JBA shorties. The only thing that'll fit is JBA's or FRPP's or custon longtubes. Stock manifoplds will still fit.
