The supercharged 5.4 liter V8 was reassembled with it's freshly detailed parts, including new gaskets and wrinkle coated valve covers, new gaskets for the supercharger assembly, and other detailed pieces. The supercharger has been upgraded with a higher RPM pulley for increased compression. The goal was to install as many connectors, harnesses, hoses and hard lines as possible while the engine was on the stand to make installation go quicker.
The radiator core support was built on a stand before it was installed in the truck as an assembly. The core support assembly consists of the support, radiator, electric cooling fans, fan controller, steering reservoir, AC condenser core, oil cooler, and coolant reservoirs. The supercharger heat exchanger would be attached after the core support was installed.
