yup, 870LBS. the 5.4 only weighs 60 lbs more than the 4.6 so there are two different rate springs for the front but if you were going to install an engine (and trans) weighing roughly double the OEM weight tht only way to do it is to build some shock hoops and add a set of coilovers with dual...
i have been toying with this idea for a few months now and i called an engine supply company to get an idea of weights. the 4.6 weighs 400lbs, the powerstroke 7.3 weighs in at 870! for transmissions options though i would prefer a stick and then swap in a dana 60/70 rear out of a superduty to...

We finally got the first set of fiberglass from the moldmaker on friday. We mounted the driver side temporarily so we could take some measurements, keep in mind we still have to install the wheel spacers and a host of other stuff but i really wanted to get some pics up here to gauge...
