Since the 1990s, the Ford 4.6-liter has become a modern-day V-8 phenomenon, powering everything from Mustangs to hand-built hot rods. Its innovative design delivers exceptional power, modification potential, and reliability. This popular engine has created an industry unto itself with a huge supply of aftermarket high-performance parts, machine services, and accessories. As these engines age and are in need of a rebuild, or are considered for aftermarket performance modification, owners need a hands-on step-by-step rebuilding manual. 4.6L & 5.4L Ford Engines: How to Rebuild expertly explains each rebuilding phase for these engines, providing crucial step-by-step information and instruction. This book delivers the complete nuts-and-bolts rebuild story so you can rebuild an engine at home and achieve professional results. In addition, it contains a complete history of the engine family as well as essential block, head, and component ID information, and a thorough explanation of Romeo and Windsor component differences for selecting the right parts. With detailed photos and comprehensive captions, each step is expertly detailed in disassembly, machine work, assembly, start-up, break-in, and tuning for all 4.6- and 5.4-liter engines, including the two- and three-valve SOHC and the four-valve DOHC versions. Also included is a chapter on the exciting new Coyote engines, their design and philosophy. If you are a Modular Ford engine fan, this book is an invaluable resource. Review: Beginners level instructions. Very helpful information. - I am an Industrial HVAC equipment mechanic with no "Modular Engine" design knowledge. I needed to rebuild my 5.4L 2 valve Van engine and wanted to increase the horsepower and performance in the process. This book is well written. The information is presented in a manor that is easy to understand and well organized. Book would be very valuable for someone just learning about this engine design and mechanical techniques. Not intended for advanced level engine builders. Very easy and enjoyable reading experience with many very clear informative illustrations with pictures and charts. Check out the contents page. Review: The information in this book will help get the job done. - If you have a 4.6 or the 5.4 and you do not have this book buy it.

Basics
This book contains a lot of basic information on how to build your own 4.6 or 5.4 engines. It’ll keep you from overlooking a step or two when you’re slapping the sucker together like a set of legos.

This is a good book to start with
This is a good book to start with. It has good information on machining. That is definitely the author's strong point. This book is geared toward the passenger car engine, you will definitely learn how to build a great mustang engine. However if you have a Triton 5.4L 3V Flex Fuel V-8 you will be left with many questions . I just bought three more books SA books because of questions that still arose about the truck engine.

Good book wish I kept it instead of ordering the how to build a performance 4.6 that doesn’t tell the rebuild procedures.

Decent book well written. However....
This book is geared more toward the 2v 4.6 and 5.4 and aimed more at the Mustang enthusiasts. There is very little info for the 5.4 3v as found in the F series trucks. Engine specific data is also sparse, specifically: clearances, component dimensions. Also this book largely stops at about 2006 for the majority of its content. And I'm dealing with '08 through '12 3v stuff.

A bit disappointed I think-thought that the update would go further than it did. That being said I certainly didn't waste my money
