I would just upgrade to whole car. Bang for the buck man. I bought a pristine 600 hp cobra for under $25k. Just makes sense unless you like torturing yourself.

I love this car. Its not going anywhere... I'm building an engine, trans, and rear different for it. Also redoing the entire suspension and paint. My car, my call. I want to make it a bad S.O.B. one reason I love this car is the body style and color. I don't want a new edge. Everyone has one. I want my bodystyle

I heard 4.6 and 5.4 are the same blocks too.
Bone, it's your car you put whatever you want in it and make her fast! I'm on the same note with not wanting a different car. I love my car as well. I was considering a new 5.0 coyote swap in mine.
Building up a 5.4 would be great. Then again I want to see a 5.8 in our little cars.

From what I'm reading the difference in the 5.4 and. 4.6 is the crank throw and bore size. The heads, waterpump, intake, oil cooler and all should swap right over to it. Hence the whole purpose of "modular" motors.
